Cannot Turn off Mac Mail organise by conversation when I do a search

When organise by conversation is turned off it only lasts for that search session. When I start mail again and do a search of all mailboxes, everything is organised by conversation again - this is VERY frustrating.

I cannot find a way to turn it off permanently.

Look forward to your help

Mail sorting 2020 27" iMac, OS 12.3 (Monterey). Mail program continually re-sorts itself. I prefer the Inbox view settings to be by date, oldest at the top. Periodically when viewing mailboxes, the mail program will suddenly intercede and resort, scrolling all the way to the top (i.e., to display the oldest messages). I do ask the program to do this, but for some reason it decides to anyway. Is there a logical way to get it to stop doing this? With 4000 messages in my inbox (which should not be the issue), it is an annoying interruption.

organize by conversation I see a lot of questions in this forum about turning *off* the "organize by conversation" in Mac Mail. Oddly, I have the opposite problem. I have to individually that that feature *on* for each individual mailbox, or Smart mailbox. And sometimes it turns off again, even though I've previously actively turned it on. How can I make this setting global for all of my email accounts and all of my mailboxes?

Mail won't remain on selected email After I use the search function in Mac Mail, highlight the email I wish to view, then x-out the search term, Mail does not remain on the email selected from the search results. Mail resorts to the last email I had selected prior to the search. In the past, Mail would remain on the email selected after the search results. How can I restore this function?
