the problem which you encountered seems to be very confusing and I think that the quickest way of verification is to re-start from scratch.
Please ensure that you have only a single note sortspec (the underlying file is sortspec.md).
If you have multiple instances of sortspec notes, delete all of them and create a single empty one from scratch in the root folder of the vault.
Open the sortspec note (in Obsidian) and enable the source mode (menu View -> Source Mode). This will prevent the Obsidian properties editor from interfering.
Having done the above, type in the simplest sorting specification as below, exactly as visible with the exact indentation (two spaces) on the two lines target-folder: /* and < a-z:
---
sorting-spec: |
target-folder: /*
< a-z
---After that click the ribbon button (once or twice) to reload the sorting specification and apply it.
The alphabetical (a to z) sorting should be applied in result.
Finally, remember to disable the source mode (menu View -> Source Mode)
If you have further questions or concerns, please continue here

The plugin sorts the files and folders equally (Wonderful), however no configuration sorts a to z, instead it is always z - a Here is the configuration file I am using
I have also switched to > a-z but the sort is always backwards. The documentation says it should just work but maybe I am missing something.
sorting-spec: | // // A simple configuration for obsidian-custom-sort plugin // (https://github.com/SebastianMC/obsidian-custom-sort) // It causes the plugin to take over the control of the order of items in the root folder ('/') of the vault // It explicitly sets the sorting to ascending ('<') alphabetical ('a-z') // Folders and files are treated equally by the plugin (by default) so expect them intermixed // after enabling the custom sort plugin // target-folder: /* < a-z
