Description
-
Sort order remembered on local drives, but not on network drives. Can see new entries in the Sort Settings (Windows).json, but they seem to be disregarded for network drives.
-
Is it possible to change the default sort order that would be applied across all drives (i.e. to modified)?

Research direction
Start by locating how sort settings are read from Sort Settings (Windows).json and how the file manager distinguishes local from network drives. Compare the settings path for both cases, then verify that saved network-drive ordering is honored and assess whether a global default sort order can be configured.
