Ok, guys! This is not an easy task)) I like the "music explorer" mode because it has nicely presented icons and I can see the tracks in the drop-down menu. Most of my collection is laid out (and continues to be added) by labels. But I would like that when I select a specific label in the left list, in the main window I would see not sorting by artists, but by folder name, since the name of each folder for me begins with the catalog number of the label. That is, it would be convenient in the end, when I select a label - to immediately see the album covers (by clicking on which you can see the tracklist of the release), which are arranged chronologically according to their catalog number.

In the panel settings, I did not find sorting by folder name

In the music tab I came up with something similar (I managed to sort by path, folder name). But this is a list and not very convenient for pleasant navigation

It will be hard for you to help me, but thanks anyway)

I will say first that I do not really understand what you are trying to achieve here.

The Music Explorer node does have limited sorting options (and this is the main reason that I do not personally use this view) so I do not think that you are going to achieve what you want here.

In the Music node you should be able to do so.

In the music tab I came up with something similar (I managed to sort by path, folder name). But this is a list and not very convenient for pleasant navigation
You are currently using the 'Album and Tracks' view. It sounds like you would prefer the 'Album Covers' view which is selectable from the main panel header menu - you can still apply complex sorting and grouping options with this view and I would think get close to where you want to be.
