Citadel Search: Remember sort order while on page?

[ThiefMaster]

We got this suggestion in a ticket:

I know I can select by date, but I am wondering if the sorting policy can be made default.
For example, if I search for a person A and change the results sorting to "newest first" I can get a chronological list of meetings in which A presented. If I now type a person B in the search bar, the sort policy goes back to "most relevant". Could this be avoided through the user preferences?

TBH I also usually switch to "most recent"... it could be interesting to either save your last order it in a user preference (but for "oldest first" that may be weird since that's likely NOT what one wants by default), or simply not reset it when you search for something else without reloading the page.
