Description James Dent 2010-05-02 07:31:36 UTC 
Version:           1.6.2 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Arch Linux)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.33-ARCH

When clicking the top item in the list of articles for a feed, it is quite easy to accidentally click instead on the "Title" heading, thereby inadvertedly sorting the feeds by title. 

There seems little reason to sort by title (or author), as using the search bar is more efficient if looking for a particular article. Thus, would it make sense to allow this alternative sorting to be disabled, for those with clumsy hands?

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

Still a valid wish.
