Horizontal Scrolling Clicking Column

Whenever I’m trying to sort by a column on Calibre, if I don’t click exactly on the right corner, it scrolls all the way over to the furthest lefthand column, similar to if "automatically scroll to top” was turned on in View Manager, but it’s not, and I can’t find the setting that would cause this.How do I turn it off?

Rather than left clicking on a header to do an ad-hoc single column sort, do a right click and select the topmost option, or try using the Sort by tool.

Sort by allows sorting on columns you can't see. Its default short cut is Ctrl+F5, and/or you can add it to a menu/toolbar.

@chaley - provide a "Disable column sorting with mouse clicks" checkbox setting in Preferences->Sorting. The only time I 'use' left mouse click sorting is when I miss with a left click on a VL tab.
