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).

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