Thunar and selected file location

Thunar 4.16.10 on Xubuntu 22.04, up to date.

I need the selected file to be at the top of the file list window. I can do this only if I reverse the alphabetical sort order to Z to A. This so stupid I can't believe it. (Changing the sort order is done by clicking the triangle to the right of the Name bar at the top of the window.)

I have 20-20 vision, but with an eye muscle problem that makes it difficult to look down. When the selected file is on the bottom of the window it makes life difficult; all I can see is the selection color; I can't read the text easily. So then I have to fumble for the mouse and use the scroll wheel to rotate the file to the top of the window. I probably do this thirty or forty times a day, and it's annoying.

I hope that I just missed something in the documentation. Is there a Thunar expert here who can help me?
