Bug: Default post sort order not saved - eviltoast

Sorry, can’t quite remember if you’d mentioned this already, but it resets to Hot if you force quit and restart the app.

    I don’t remember if I’d discussed this with our or someone else. Basically the default sort order needs to be fixed. Currently it behaves not like an active sort than a default sort. Anytime you change a feed sort order, it will update the default sort order. This may also explain part of your previous issue with sort order resetting. If you change the sorting in any feed, it ends up changing the sorting for all feeds, but may not update the UI to reflect that the sorting mode has changed.

    I need to fix this. I’d like to have default sort behave properly, and add a setting to remember the last picked. I also need to fix the issue where all feeds share one sort mode.

      Great—I sort of remembered something about sort not working properly. I see that changing a feed sort changes the setting for default, but I also definitely see both reset to Hot after a force quit. Happy to look again when there are changes in that area.

        I think I have this fixed now. The default sort order will be applied when you first open a feed, after that, any changes you make to the sort order will only affect the open feed. I also added a new setting to remember the sorting mode, so if you change the sorting mode while browsing, it will update the default setting.

        As for the issue of resetting to Hot sorting on relaunch. I believe I have this fixed as well. In the cases where this would happen, did you have your sort mode set to one of the Top sorting modes? If not, please let me know as I might have to look into it some more.
