Ubuntu 17 default folder sorting

[vorticalbox]

For the life of me I cannot get the default sorting to by name as the default ordering system in nautilus. I have looking in file > prefs and also change come settings in dfcon editor see the screenshots.

Try resetting any previous preference by deleting

~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata

then try gsettings again

still the same  it's just that first folder that does it  

 

Changed the settings when in ~/ and they stuck this time  thanks for the help
