Finder issue - "arrange by" view keeps changing
I am on OS X 10.9.5. A few days ago, Finder began acting strangely.
My default view in Finder is column view, arranged by "name".
In the finder window, on the left side, under "favorites", I have several commonly visited location shortcuts. For some reason, one of my folders has begun appearing in "arrange by date modified" view, which is useless to me. So, I switch it back. It might even stay that way until I reboot the machine again (which i do once a day).
Why does the view in this one folder keep going back to "date modified" view, even after I select "name"?
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
