Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Log in to a new instance of Element.
2. "Favourites" are set to "Sort by A-Z" with no "Appearance" options checked.
3. Set "Favourites" to "Sort by Activity" and "Show rooms with unread messages first".
4. Open another instance of Element.
- Either log out and log in, or e.g. use Element in a browser rather than Element-desktop.
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
"Favourites" is still set to "Sort by Activity" and "Show rooms with unread messages first".
More generally, I would expect this piece of configuration to be synced across _all_ element-web instances via global account data. Possibly across Element mobile clients too.
#### What happened instead?
"Favourites" on the new device are set to "Sort by A-Z" with no "Appearance" options checked, i.e. their default state.
