So basically this issue boils down to:
If you have a query containing an ORDER BY clause, say,
SELECT * FROM <table> ORDER BY <column>
, and display this query's data, then
- the sort order dialog doesn't give you any clue that there already
is a sort order applied
- applying sort orders via the dialog might lead to confusing results, since
the new explicit sort order is subordinate to the existing, implicit sort
order, which the user might not know about
I agree that this is a usability problem, though I am not sure how one would
solve this. Giving the user control over the existing implicit sort orders is
non-trivial, UX-wise, since then the "Remove Filter/Sort" button would need
attention then (is this expected to remove only the implicit, or the implicit
and the explicit sort orders?). Also, the sort order dialog would need an
extension then, so it is not limited to three entries anymore (this would be a
Good Thing (TM), anyway).
