Sort products in ascending order by name on specific category page not working

Question

I want to sort product for a specific category by name in ascending order but it is still sorting in descending order in the front-end.

For a category under Display Setting, I have set Default Product Listing Sort By to Product Name

<referenceContainer name="content">
  <referenceBlock name="product_list_toolbar">
          <action method="setDefaultDirection">
              <argument name="dir" xsi:type="string">asc</argument>
            </action>
  </referenceBlock>
</referenceContainer>

Here is how it looks.

I have checked the setting in all store view and I have the same setting.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Try this code

 <referenceContainer name="content">
        <referenceBlock name="category.products.list">
            <action method="setDefaultDirection">
                <argument name="dir" xsi:type="string">asc</argument>
            </action>
        </referenceBlock>
    </referenceContainer>

It's working for my side
