What happened?

When using "Configuring about columns" >"Columns to group files by name" the dropdown selection presents the name of the header row of that column in the database, not the underlying column ID of the select column. When this is true files are not sorted/filed by the select column. Manually changing "group_folder_column:" in config in mardown view to the correct column ID solves the problem.

For example:
column ID = my_column but column header is = My Column. group_folder_column = My Column - this does not work

column ID = my_column but column header is = My Column. group_folder_column = my_column - this works
