920 does not sustain alphabetical sort order

[Forez]

I have just tried out the x64 920 Donor version- and it seems to be unable to stick to alphabetical sort order when I navigate through folders i.e. every time I enter another one it is somehow messed up

I had no such problem with the so far used Build 912 64-bit Donor Portable & Build 901 32-bit Public Installed on my Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 x64 [10.0.19042]

More info/screenshot would be helpful.
Have you the same with default settings?

I have just tested this in the latest FC donor version I have access to which is 926 - and it is the same. Also if I change my current setup from

Tools > Settings > View > File / folder list > Sorting > Alphabetical - string sort

to either

Tools > Settings > View > File / folder list > Sorting > Alphabetical - word sort

or

Tools > Settings > View > File / folder list > Sorting > Natural sorting (as Explorer)

the same ill behavior occurs. But when I run FC with default settings then the sort order seems to stay alphabetical no matter how much I navigate. And also when I overwrite 926 files with those of 912 [i.e. go back to running on good working version but by using less secure method of overwriting instead of more soundly method of using a copy of my entire portable FC unspoiled with never files] then the behavior goes back to being normal. So it seems that there is something in my configuration that triggers this behavior in newer versions - but it is not the aforementioned Sorting option, as I have tried out switching to all 3 available ones

The below screenshot shows two explanatory well known folders affected by this unwanted switch of sort order

I see no pattern in the above order - and I can assure you that it is not an order that uses data from any of these three Columns [which I sometimes use]:
● Size Auto
● Modified
● Type
[because when turned on then they are also all over the place]
