Been there, done that.... to no avail.
Sorting by name is not possible in column view.

I can sort by name in column view, so it is very much possible.
You can group by kind, then sort within groups by name.
If you sort by kind without grouping, the items within each glob of kinds will be sorted by name.
Choose "Name" in the Sort By menu/View Options.
If you are clicking in the toolbar, a regular click will select Group By.
To get Sort By, hold down the Option Key.
You can sort by Kind and then Name. You need to use the View ➙ Show View Options menu and select Kind and Name in the resulting pane:
