Hi devs,
We currently have a feature to remember the sorting order of a table. It was implemented in such a way that remembered sorting would be applied both when the user is browsing the table as well as executing a select statement on the table without specifying some other sorting order.
However it is unclear whether this is the expected behavior from the discussion at [1]. So I would like to know your opinion on whether we should keep the current behavior or should the remembered sorting order be applied only when browsing. My personal opinion is, it should be limited to just browsing.
If we decide to change the behavior, should it go to next major release or next bug fix release?

Well, the feature is called "Remember table sorting" and does not specify for how long to remember. I can see good arguments for both sides of the interpretation.
Even when entering manually a SELECT, the interpretation of wanting the last order can be defendable (for some users).
True. But as of now the sorting order is added even when the query is different, for example when the manually entered query has a where clause. Not sure whether that is desirable.
Again I can see good arguments for both sides.
Maybe what we need is this: when using a remembered sort order, display also a link that would make phpMyAdmin forget the sort order.
