Screenshots

Working with Dolphin 25.04.3 with Setting: Sort alphabetic Filename.

To help understand what I was doing:
I add some new music to my music library, which ist organizied in folders with:
album-artist, album ...
Therefore i use album-artist-name, album-artist-prename. So it happens, that i
have to change the folder names to my preferences. 
In my example you see a directory with new music and a correct order (Screen-1)
Here "Mike Zito & Albert Castiglia" is at position 1, and the last folder I
have to rename.
After renaming to "Zito, Mike & Castiglia, Albert" it should be at the last
position, but it stays at position 1 (Screen-2). 
I create a new subfolder "Help Yourself" into "Zito, Mike & Castiglia, Albert"
and this one will be displayed
as a subfolder of "Yorn, Pete" (Screen-3).
In fact this is not correct too, because the subfolder is created into "Zito,
Mike & Castiglia, Albert". Only the
displayed result is incorrect.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Choose a Folder with a couple of Subfolders sorted alphbetic. (see
Screenshot-1)
2.  Rename a Folder so that it's position should change (see Screenshot-2)
      The renamed Folder should be a the last position of the display list, but
it stays at first position
3.  Mark the renamed Folder a select a action for this folder (Choose: create a
new subfolder here)
4.  The action seems to be executed for a complete different folder and not the
renamed folder
      (see Screen-3). In my example the new subfolder ("TestACtion") seems to
be created in the last displayed
      folder.
5.  Refresh by choosing another folder anywhere else and go back to see what
really happend (See Screen-4)

OBSERVED RESULT

Sorting Order will not be refreshed and displays a non-alphabetic/wrong sorting
order
An action on the renamed folder will displayed in another different folder
(this is the folder, which
is display at the place where the renamed folder should be display if
everything wwould be correct.

EXPECTED RESULT

Correct order of all folders after renaming one.
