Moon+ Reader: Clearing Arbitrary Sort Data

I'm using Moon+ Reader Pro on my tablet and I'm having an issue with keeping it sorted alphabetically by title. See, I've imported a lot of PDFs and such, and the metadata on them is all screwy, so I've been going in and manually editing title names and such. The problem is that almost every time after I change a title name and save, I go to open info on another file to do the same thing, and instead usually the book I just edited, sometimes a random one, will end up putting itself in place there in the sort order. No matter how many times I tell it to sort by title, this accidental "manual" sort won't go away. In some research I guess it's called "Arbitrary Sort," but I can't find any info on how to reset this arbitrary sort.

In Moon+ when you're in the files section look in the upper right corner and you'll see 3 dots. Tap them and one of the options on the menu that pops up is Sort Order. Change that to alphabetical and that should fix your problem.

I don't use PDF's so maybe you have another issue I'm not aware of but that's how I do it with epubs.
