Application folder sorting by name not working (not using sort by groups!)

[Happymistakes]

Pulling my hair out at this point...

Folders and files do not sort alphabetically in my application folder (they do in other finder windows).
I have it viewing options at 'sort by name' and as list NOT as 'group by name' and still the folder shows the folders on top and not in alphabetical order.

Not sure what else to do... running Monterey 12.5

Have you double-checked those settings in Finder>View>Show View Options?

I have.

View->Sort by->name

 

[0128672]

I have.

View->Sort by->name

Would you mind uploading a screenshot of the top half of your Applications folder?

Check your Finder Settings.

Folders on top is a global setting in Finder advanced preferences.

Individual folder settings can be shown using cmd-j. Here is /Applications:

Thanks @dsemf 👍

The unchecking of keep folders on top in windows when sorting by name did the trick!
Totally missed that one...
