If you sort by a column and then remove that column, Opus will have to sort by another column. You sorted by EXT then removed it, so Opus sorted by Name. (I think it'll always chose Name if the sort column is removed.)

"8. Changes to Default Formats" in the [Folder Formats: Detailed Guide](https://resource.dopus.com/t/folder-formats-detailed-guide/11718/1) probably explains the rest.
