  I didn't want to say it as i would be negative again about a feature request ;)
  I had the exact same idea, sort mode isn't in the toolbar by default (it is there to add though).
  View mode is and is even less clicks then adding it under the right mouse button.
  
  But things are going to change.
  The sort mode is going to be in the next dolphin toolbar by default (right?) so the toolbar then has view and sort. Right there with less clicks then the RMB would have been.
  
  I can't imagine users are already used to this as:
  Thunar: doesn't have either in the RMB
  Files (gnome): doesn't have either
  Windows explorer: doesn't have it (i think, had to search for screenshots as i don't have windows anymore)
  Does macOS' finder have it?
  
  In summary, nobody has it. The RMB is imho full enough as is already so lets not add these two.
  If people consciously remove the view and sort mode from the toolbar then it's their decision. They apparently want to have that. We should not have to add more menu items for that reason. Just don't remove it from the toolbar if you want to have easy access.
  
  As you can see, no +1 or -1 from me :) The above is just how i think about it, just a opinion.
