KDE Plasma: 5.21.3
KDE Frameworks: 5.80.0

Part 1 of this issue has seemingly been fixed, i.e. in Natural mode the
filenames sort as expected: 1, 2, 3, 10, 20, 30, etc.

Part 2 is still in effect.

(PROPER) STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Create a test folder and inside it create e.g. 6 text files called 1, 2, 3,
10, 20 and 30, respectively.
2. Depending on your selected sorting type, these files will be sorted in a
certain order. E.g. in the default natural mode they will sort as 1, 2, 3, 10,
20, 30.
3. Open Dolphin's settings, select a different sorting mode, press OK or Apply.
4. Observe that the files stay in their current sorting mode.
5. Open Dolphin's settings again.
6. The moment you do so, observe how the sorting settings you previously
selected are now applied.

The exact same thing will happen if after step 4, you instead simply close
Dolphin and re-open it: the new sorting will now be applied. It's almost as if
Dolphin will not refresh its file sorting logic until the next UI event that
forces it to refresh the viewport (...or something :D).
