Description
Currently it is not possible to set a default sort order (ascending, descending) of a virtual directory in Kodi.
This would be quite useful as now we have to use the "Default" sort view and order the entries ourselves. Which means we have to add specific information to the title so ordering is still possible by the user.
This needs to be fixed in Kodi.

Research direction
Start by locating where the add-on creates its Kodi virtual directory and review how its current default sort view and order are configured. Check Kodi's directory-sorting behavior and define completion as allowing the virtual directory's default order to be set to ascending or descending without requiring title changes.
