Bug 496842

SUMMARY
the sorting order per category is not remembered/changes even when the user did not explicitly change it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. default behavior: sort by Name, default A-Z
1. right click empty space
2. sort by size
3. click on largest first
4. switch back to sort by name

OBSERVED RESULT
sorting is now Z-A even though no user interaction was explicitly made to change the name sorting. Only the size sorting was explicitly changed.

EXPECTED RESULT
Either remember the sorting decision per category i.e. Name, Size, Modified... is now independent of the other choices.
So when you want to sort files by size and want the largest first and then switch back to sorting by Name you don't have to switch name sorting back to A-Z

Change the default "upper" option to largest first, because when I care to sort by file size, I probably want to see the biggest files first. This is just the better default anyway in my opinion and should be done regardless of remembering the decision per category.
