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
