Save file sort parameters between sessions was created by rodw
Someone flagged this to me in relation to QTPlasmac but I think it belongs here.
He was frustrated because every time he opened the the file dialog window to select a new file, he had to change the sort order so files were listed in date/time descending order.
This is always how I used to have my system set up.
I think this is the relevant line of code and I wondered if the numeric number was the column number for sort
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...file_manager.py#L116
So is it possible to save the user selected sort order between sessions (and file opens)?

It seems that no matter what, on each restart (of LCNC), the following are always "None":
Although they are being assigned a value when they are getting set during the cleanup.
Also, if I hard code them (3 and 1 for date and descending), then it does work. So it's something with storing or recalling the setting.
sect = self.SETTINGS_.value('sortIndicatorSection')
order = self.SETTINGS_.value('sortIndicatorOrder')Although they are being assigned a value when they are getting set during the cleanup.

eg. Does pycvp save data in a preferences file?

What version of Qt are you using (or what version of linux).
It works for me with mint 20 qt 5.12.8
