Your suggestion would be better for my workflow as well. Especially considering that in many cases it is sort of arbitrary what sorting ascending or descending even means for things like date etc. The last used/preferred sort order of a column could be saved as a Dolphin-wide preference. I wonder though how many users have a different way of looking at sorting order. Maybe many do have a clear idea about what ascending and descending sort order is and are surprised when clicking a column sometimes orders one way and sometimes the other way depending on how they sorted a few days ago. There might even be users who sort so often in their day that they already learnt to double-click some columns when they want to order descending or only click them once for ascending. For those, such a change would slow them down because they suddenly can't know anymore if they need to click once or twice to end up in an ascending/descending sort order. For these reasons, it seems quite difficult for me to figure out if this would be a good change overall. For people that don't sort quite as often, I would guess that it would be an improvement. |
