New Desktop - Sort Order of Views / Sub-Folders

This may be a niche requirement, but here goes. We have a "Projects" view which contains a subfolder for each of our projects - this is normally sorted Z - A so that newest projects appear first (highest number). Within the subfolders however we want things sorted A - Z. In Classic Desktop this wasn't a problem as the system seems to treat those sort orders as independent. Within New Desktop on the other hand the sort order for the view is inherited by sub-folders, so we're a bit stuck.

Is there a setting I'm missing here, or is this something that can be looked at as part of quality of life feature parity?
