Preferences are almost always FUTURE defaults.
You now need to force Calibre to recalculate the updated preference.
In your case: Title
select all books (with the problem otherwise Calibre will update last_modified for all books, which affects Incremental backups).
tap 'E" (bulk mode metadata edit): Tick the box Update Title Sort: OK

while there (bulk mode), take a look at what else you might do in bulk
