Comment (by afercia):

 I realized that "hierarchical display" is different from "hierarchical
 post", yeah I'm slow :) The former is just the view meant to be used as
 initial view for hierarchical post, i.e. the view that allows to show the
 list table items "indented" below their parent.
 As soon as you click on the table headers to reorder the table, it's
 impossible to show the indentation so it makes perfectly sense that
 `hierarchical_display` is true only when the order by is 'menu_order
 title'.

 So maybe what's actually missing here is a way to properly display the
 "switch view" links. They shouldn't be displayed in the initial view but
 when `$_GET['orderby']` is set, they really should be there. Thoughts?
