Comment (by jfortune):
My point is, I think the default is wrong.
As a daily developer, I need to see the last page I worked on or am
working on immediately.
Clicking the Date column once or twice EVERY time I go to edit a page is a
complete waste of time and is bad UI.
The programming rule I have always stood by is "if you always have to do
it, you should never have to do it".
Please consider rethinking this.
The rules you specific should be surrounded by IFs:
If numeric menu_order field <> 0 then sort by that
OR
If date column not added to list then sort alphabetically by title
IF date column IS added to list then sort in reverse date order (latest at
the top)
END
It's quite simple and would same many thousands of people and awful lot of
time. :-)
Thank you
