Files and Folders in Save Dialogues are sorted randomly

In MacOS 12 Monterey Files and Folders in Save Dialogues are sorted randomly. If I want to save a file in the Save dialogue using Column View, suddenly the files and folders are sorted randomly. I turned off "Arrange By" but there is no "Sort By" button. I can only sort by name if I use List View, which doesn't show me the entire folder structure.

I have seen others ask this question here but nobody has provided and answer. I have looked in Finder Preferences and System Preferences but I can't find the option to change it back to how it always used to be.

This makes things really difficult where there are many files and folders with similar names and I don't know if I'm going to either save the file in the wrong folder.

Opening files in Column View is even worse. I have to basically preview every file to know which one I'm seeing because all of the files are in random order.

Please help by explaining a fix for this. MacOS never used to work this way.
