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.
Maybe what we need is this: when using a remembered sort order, display
also a link that would make phpMyAdmin forget the sort order.
