Currently, when sorting files in Dolphin, the sort direction (ascending/descending) is remembered globally and applied to all sorting criteria.
For example, if I sort files by "Date Modified" and switch to descending (newest first), then switch back to sorting by "Name", the files are sorted in reverse alphabetical order (Z → A), which is usually not what the user expects.

In Windows Explorer, the sort direction is remembered per criterion. That means:

    Sorting by name defaults to ascending (A → Z),

    Sorting by date defaults to descending (newest first),

    And switching between them remembers the last used direction per criterion.

This behavior is much more intuitive and useful, as users typically want:

    Recent files first when sorting by date,

    Alphabetical order when sorting by name.

Dolphin’s current behavior is technically consistent, but less user-friendly.

Suggestion: Implement a mechanism to store and recall sort direction per sort criterion, or at least use more intuitive defaults (e.g., date = descending by default).

Thank you for considering!
