Set default sort order for page sorting

Alternatively, Mahara could remember the sort order (in usr_account_preference), whenever it is changed. That way, we would avoid another account setting.

Do you mean by clicking a button on the page where I change the settings to say: Save these settings or just by doing it silently?

My idea would be to do that silently and not adding more settings/buttons to the visual interface. I imagine that works fine for most users, unless they change the setting back and forth frequently.

That would work for me. I don't change settings that frequently, but when I do, I would like them to stick around when reloading the pages.

+1 for the idea of remembering your settings automatically.
