Debugging ideas

To address the unexpected layout change in FileBrowserFragment after using the sort option, perform the following actions:

• Examine the onPrepareOptionsMenu method in BaseBrowserFragment.kt to confirm that menu items maintain their visibility consistently before and after sorting.

  override fun onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu: Menu) {
    super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu)
    // Check the visibility settings of menu items here
  }

• Review the sortBy method in the same file to ensure that the UI elements, particularly the sort options, remain in their intended positions post-sorting.

  fun sortBy(sort: Int) {
    // Ensure UI elements are correctly managed here
  }

• Inspect the updateSortTitles method in UiTools.kt to verify that it's only modifying the titles and not influencing the layout positioning.

  fun updateSortTitles(menu: Menu) {
    // Confirm that this method doesn't alter layout
  }
