Yeah that was also my first thought, as well as my first concern. :)

I dunno, that seems like over-configuration. How about this:

1. Give every sort criterion a default ordering ("newest first", "a-z", etc)
2. Remember the user's preference if they change to the opposite ordering

This way the first time the user switches to "Date modified" it would
automatically order "newest first", but if they changed to "oldest first", and
then switched to "name", the next time they went back to "Date modified", it
would remember that the last used order was "oldest first" and use that.

Does that make any sense?
