 I create compositions and set layers in Illustrator but everytime when import that file in After effects, I chose the option Composition - Retain Layer Sizes. The layers in the timeline automatically rearranged in alphabetical order and all the elements comes in the centre instead of forming a composition. I have attached screenshots of Illustrator file and After Effects Please help! It's urgent

Hmmm... You should open the "illustration" composition by double clicking on it in the project panel, it looks like you created a new composition and drag all the layers into it, which is wrong!

Try resetting preferences and deleting all cache, if it didn't work:

Does this happen with all Ai files or this specific one?
