I found on the web that this has been a long standing complaint about PCManFM. I found this workaround: ---- You can use View > Sort Files 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 Edit > Preferences and close. That will write your current sort_type and sort_by values into ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf. ---- Not 100% sure if this will solve your issue... but You might simply copy your config file to the default. ~/.config/pcmanfm/default/pcmanfm.conf Thanks for the tip, but I have tried that, in that I changed the sort line to: sort=name;ascending; But PCManFM still defaults to "Descending > By Modification Time" on occasion. I can't figure out why and when it's going to do it. The only way I can prevent it is by setting the sort order the way I want it to be, and then setting "View > Sort Files > Ascending > By Name", and then setting "View > Preserve This Folder's Settings". Then it will preserve the sort order I have set for that folder. But, I can't be doing this for each and every folder I visit. Found that here: http://tinyurl.com/phq7ska on the Arch Linux Wiki site. But that workaround doesn't always work. Is there a solution to this, or is this annoying problem by design? I'm using Lubuntu 17.10.1 64bit fully updated.
