--- Comment #1 from Felix Ernst <felixernst at kde.org> ---
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.
