Default sorting of entry table is lost #3850

Description

@miwurster

I try to set a default sorting in the options dialog for the entry table, for example, priority, year, title.
In some case I want to sort the entry table for a quick review/search, for example, to a sorting based on the bibtexkey to see all works related to that key.
However, when I click on the column headers, the default sorting criteria in the options is lost (or rather got overwritten) - see before and after screenshots.

I would have expected the following behavior:

  • Set a default sorting for the entry table
  • On changing the sorting
    • the first click applies the ascending order
    • the second click applies the descending order
    • the third click removes the sorting of that column
  • So, after the third click, I expect that the default sorting from the options dialog will be applied again

Would love to hear what others think :-)

Cheers
Michael

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set default sorting options dialog for the entry table
  2. Go back to your list of references, click on a column header to change the sort
  3. Check the default sorting in the options, they got overwritten
