Bug ID: 513271
Summary: inverted default sorting order
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: EndeavourOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The default sorting order is "oldest" or anti-alphabetical order first, which
is not how most humans would use sorting orders. I often will change the
sorting type in dolphin, in the same directory, if I want to visualise folders
in a different way. Every time it goes in the wrong direction, there's no
setting anywhere, and it's also not able to be key-bound. Because this "locked
in" style of setting is antithetical to linux's ethos, and that this has been
reported many times before, I'm setting it as a bug, because I doubt it's
deliberately this way by a malicious actor. (I have it set to remember settings
per folder, but that's unrelated to this issue)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open dolphin
2. change sort order
-optional
3. attempt to change default behaviour
-optional #2
3. attempt to set shortcut
-optional #3
3. set "save sorting order" in configure (missing)
OBSERVED RESULT
defaults to "oldest", which is illogical.
EXPECTED RESULT
"sort order" be a logical order upon change, because people go to files in
directories to keep working on things, not to see things that are probably
finished a long time ago.
