files won't sort alphabetically in column view

In Finder how can I sort alphabetically in column view?

Files sort alphabetically only in list view.

Been there, done that.... to no avail.

Sorting by name is not possible in column view.

Not only that, wouldn't it be nice to be able to sort by KIND, then NAME? or KIND and then NAME?

Alphabetical sorts are only possible in list view, which makes the Finder useless to me.

If Finder is corrupted, can I download a working version somewhere?
