Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I set my default view to "sort by date". But this view defaults to
sorting in forward chronological order. That means that folders open up
with the oldest, most irrelevant files sorted to the top.
95% of "sort by date" use is to find the most recent files, not the
oldest ones. The default sort by date order should be reverse-
chronological, like a blog, not forward-chronological. If I want this
sort order, I must set it every time; there is no way to have the view
default to this order.
