The default is best, but if you've ever sorted by "top", it will remain "top" until you change it back. It's a long standing bug. :)

Actually, one of the new guys fixed that. Hooray for progress!

Oh yeah! It was in the changelog. I forgot, since I'm no longer responsible for memorizing the changelog. ;)

Sounds like a long standing feature to me; sticky settings. Anyone who prefers setting X over the default shouldn't be forced to change it every time they view a page.

The bug was that a GET request was causing an update, which shouldn't happen because then you end up updating your settings just by clicking on a link, usually inadvertently.
