I need an option to sort folders 'by name' and files inside the folders to be 'sort by newest first' or 'last modified first'

This is kinda different. For eg. he wants to change sort options of file and folders in a specific directory. While that issue asks for separate sort options for separate directories.

Well you have two different dirs that get sorted differently, what's the difference in the solution?

Along with the current sorting option for "☑️ Only this folder," it would be great to have an additional option: "☑️ Apply to all subfolders of this folder."

Example use case: The user wants all files in sdcard to be sorted by Last Modified, except for the Music folder and all its subfolders, which they want to sort by Name. (Currently, the user would have to select "Sort by Last Modified" for the global Amaze sorting method, then go to the Music folder, and for every folder inside it, manually select "Sort by Name ☑️ Only this folder." In this example scenario, the Music folder might have hundreds or thousands of subfolders for different artists, albums, etc.)
