How to sort search-results in Nautilus?

After upgrading to 18.04, I find that the File Manager will not allow sorting (date, type, name etc) after a search. It does allow sorts prior to a search.

This change is not an improvement.

If you're missing features in Nautilus I recommend using Nemo. Nemo was forked from Nautilus some time ago. It still feels very similar but was not reduced in features like Nautilus was.

You need to click on the drop down icon on the right of the text searched.

For sorting from the columns that appears not to be the default settings anymore. As of now the bug is reported here.

You can try other file managers like Thunar or PCMan File Manager which may offer same functionality.
