Bug ID: 500512
Summary: Date Sort order on first click in file picker should
be in "natural" / default *nix way
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 6.10.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Open/save dialogs
Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: hartmann.christ...@gmail.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
---
The default sort order in KDE / XDG file picker is by *Name* is alphabetical.
The default sort order in KDE / XDG file picker is by *Date* is oldest to
newest (top down), which is inconsistent with the behavior of ancient ls(1) ($
ls -lt) command and might be inconvenient for many if not most of the users.
Note:
This report is asking for a simple(?) swap of the default sort order (on first
click) to most-recent files first. It is not asking for any configurable [or
not] approach to change it to a more complex per directory based solution.
Note:
The same is likely true for any window or view in Dolphin.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
---
1. use file picker to open or save any file from any application (including
those, that use it as XDG component)
2. click on 'Date'
3. sort order is: *oldest* files first (at top of the list)
note: the behavior depends on what you have done before with this dialog - it
seems to start with last sort order used.
OBSERVED RESULT
---
1., 2. and 3. see above
EXPECTED RESULT
---
3. should be: newest files first (at top)
