GTK file chooser does not save changes

My file managers like Thunar and Nautilus themself seem to be working fine, but when i try to use its FileChooser (eg: choosing file to upload to server in browser), it launches a FileChooser that has unsorted (not the way i sort my files) files, i try to sort them (eg: folders at first, then alphabetical, and ...) , it sorts well, but the next time i try Thunar FileChooser, the sort is gone again ! it just shows an unsorted files, i don't know, 2-3 files and then a folder and file and ..., thats really a disaster to find your file's or paths in it, is there any solution ? it doesn't save settings applied from FileChooser, also it doesnt apply my default settings for file sort in app itself, to the FileChooser.

The filechooser has no relation to Thunar. That's GTK Filechooser (or QtDialog, or... which browser do you see this in exactly?) Usually that should retain your settings unless it's daemon isn't started (what's your general environment and how do you start it) You should regardless be able to force settings via gsettings, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/bl … ma.xml#L58 for the valid values, so e.g.

gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-column name
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first true
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-order ascending
...

see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GN … figuration as well.
