Description
If I change the sorting of a folder to 'last modified', the order of the files should always be 'descending', instead of the 'last chosen value'. Otherwise the title should be called something different, e.g. 'modification date'.
Sorry for brevity, I'm on mobile.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the folder sorting behavior in the Android file manager and locate the code handling the “last modified” option. Check how the selected sort direction is retained; done means the behavior matches a consistent descending order or the label clearly communicates that the direction can vary.
