Running 78.13.0 32 bit on Win10 Pro. Suddenly SORT BY is not selectable by clicking on column header as it had been previously. It can be changed via the View/SortBy menu but the column head click is more direct/convenient. What might be the issue?

Right-clicking on a column header allows the columns to be displayed or hidden, and clicking a header toggles sorting that column between ascending and descending. If it's not working like that, try running in safe mode (hold Shift when launching TB) to test for a broken layout.

If it works in normal mode on a different folder, right-click a header, Apply columns to..., select the damaged folder.
