Why can I no longer force file names starting with an ! to the top of a list of files? I can order folders using this system but when I look inside a folder the file names starting with an ! are at the bottom, defeating the whole object.

It all depends on the sort order that you have in place.
Different folders can have different orders.
It is certainly not just the "!", is it?
The exclamation mark "!" comes before every letter in the ASCII order, so when ordered by name it might look something like this example:
!x
!y
A
B
but if you click the Name column it will reverse the order:
B
A
!y
!x
It is possible also that you have it ordered by kind, or by date, etc.
An example screenshot may clarify.
Why can't I force files starting with '!' to the top of a list in folders?
