If an editor decides to have a sorting by a column and he clicks on a column header therefore, this setting should be kept until be changes it.
Use-case:
As an editor I often have the need to sort the item by e.g. last modified date to find currently updated pages much faster.
Current/Experienced Behavior:
Currently if you click on a column header in order to sort by this one and afterwards open a page properties of a page and cancel or save&close, this one the set up order in the list view is gone. This is annoying for editors.
Improved/Expected Behavior:
If editor decides to have a sorting by a specific column this should be kept until he changes this. Please compare to CUI - here it was the case and it was for a good reason!
