Bug description

In Nemo in list view, when an item is selected and the user changes the sort order by clicking on a column header (e.g., from "Date" to "Name"), the view does not follow the selected item. Instead, the focus stays on the column header and the view remains at the top of the list, forcing the user to manually scroll to find their selection.

Steps to reproduce

Open a folder in list view with many files/folders (enough to require scrolling).

Sort by "Modified" date.

Select a folder (e.g., a newly created/renamed one at the top).

Click on the "Name" column header to change the sorting to alphabetical.

Notice that the view stays at the top of the list, while the selected folder has moved elsewhere.

Pressing "Space" or arrow keys does not jump to the selected item because the focus is stuck on the column header button.

Expected behavior

Like in Windows File Explorer or other file managers, the view should automatically scroll to keep the selected item visible after a sort change. Additionally, the keyboard focus should return to the file list rather than staying on the column header.
