style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Is
there a way to force PCManFM to always use "Sort Files >
Ascending > By Name" ?<br>
<br>
I can set the sort order to Ascending > By Name, but it
doesn't stay that way. Every once in a while I'll click on some
folder and it changes back to Descending > By Modification
Time. Very annoying. <br>
<br>
I found on the web that this has been a long standing complaint
about PCManFM. <br>
<br>
I found this workaround:<br>
<br>
----<br>
You can use <i>View > Sort Files</i> to change the order in
which PCManFM lists the files, but PCManFM won't remember that
the next time you start it. To make it remember, go to <i>Edit
> Preferences</i> and close. That will write your current
sort_type and sort_by values into <code>~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf</code>.<br>

Not 100% sure if this will solve your issue... but<br>
You might simply copy your config file to the default.<br>
<code>~/.config/pcmanfm/default/</code><code>pcmanfm.conf</code>

<br>
Is there a solution to this, or is this annoying problem by
design? <br>
