[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Title List Sorting by Old Name

It sounds like you might need to refresh the search index:
https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/administration/indexes.html

ArchivesSpace uses data from the search index rather than from the database
for most of its list views, and the two can sometimes get out of sync
because something keeps the index from updating when records are updated in
the database.
