Description

In the files view (localhost) clicking on "Last modified" lists the files in ascending order rather than by the reverse by default. It takes another click to switch it to the preferred mode. In 99% of cases users want to see the files they worked on yesterday, not months ago. Thoughts on this?

Current behaviour is also opposite of what happens in Windows Explorer, btw. Although, when listing by Name, the arrow symbol in Explorer is in the opposite direction compared to the Notebook one.
