  • Severity changed from normal to minor
  • Type changed from defect (bug) to feature request

  • Keywords close added

The default view in the Post list table is by creation date. I think it's always been this way. It's intentional, so the most recent posts are on the top. Think at when you have hundreds of posts. Most likely, you want to see the most recent ones as first in the list.

  • Keywords dev-feedback added; close removed
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to Future Release
  • Type changed from feature request to enhancement

When sorting posts by title and then narrowing down the list to only show posts from a specific category, the list is still sorted by title. The same could work for the menu as suggested here. The links just need to keep the query vars.

  • Milestone Future Release deleted
  • Resolution set to maybelater
  • Status changed from new to closed

Not only sorting. Nothing is remembered in any of the administration screens (sorting, filtering...). Only saved values.
Maybe with the future Admin, this can be proposed as a new feature. Feel free to comment this idea in that post

For now, I'm closing this as maybelater.
