How make Finder show what I want to see?

High Sierra, two displays.

Until just recently used another drive, SSD 1 Tb. But as some stuff started to act weird and it became slow, I installed High Sierra on new drive (also SSD 1 Tb) and moved everything to it. Instead of simply transferring user, apps, library, etc, I installed everything fresh in order to get rid of whatever it was that slowed it down.

It worked. Now, it responds much faster than before. But it's as if Finder is f***d up.

In Finder, I want files to be listed by "created". I don't care about "modified". So I edit the settings of a folder (or external disk or whatever) to show "created" and disregarding and hide "modified".

It works.

But next time I launch/login it's back to this annoying "modified" and the "created" isn't even there as an option.

Sorry, my spoken language isn't English. Just hoping you'll understand what I'm trying to say.
