--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
I agree.

The problem here is that sort order is presented as a mode, and modes are
immutable. If we're in "sort by name" mode, then we always sort by name.
Allowing you to break out of the mode by dragging icon is a violation of your
expectations and the way the option is presented.

macOS handles this in a more elegant way IMO:
- There are immutable sort modes where items cannot be manually ore-ordered
- In the "manual" sort mode, there is a command to "Arrange icons by
name/date/size/etc." which will re-arrange the icons to be sorted by the chosen
order, but without entering a specific sort mode.
