Dolphin: home folder suddenly differently displayed (solved)

I don't know when it happened, but suddenly my home folder is displayed completely different then the other folders. It is show as a kind of phone list with divisions by alphabet. And even if I change the view mode to "details", it still displays it that way, with icons etc.

I tried about every setting but it always stays like this.

The only thing that helps is "use common style for folders" but this is not what I want because then if you change a folder to "sort by date", all folders are sorted by date which isn't very useful either. I just want a list of files and folders like it has been always before.

You seem to have selected "Show in Groups" from the "View" menu. A new one on me, and I'll give it a miss!

Thanks for finding that! I have no idea how that was activated as I had never seen that option before. Back to normality...
