           Summary: UX: sort by behavior is confusing
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.08.3

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.
