Remember table's sorting broken in 4.8.0

[Xymph]

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to: Settings -> Main panel -> Browse mode
2. Remove checkmark at Remember table's sorting, Apply
3. Log out, log in, repeat step 1; observe the checkmark is still there
4. Browse to database table with a Date column sorted ASC
5. Change sorting to DESC
6. Log out, log in, repeat step 4; observe the table is again sorted ASC

Expected behaviour

The status of "Remember table's sorting" should be stored and displayed correctly.

The table's sorting to DESC should be preserved.

This worked fine prior to the 4.8.0 update.

Actual behaviour

The "Remember table's sorting" status in the settings is always shown checked.

The table's sorting is not remembered, despite the checkmark above.

On having a quick look, I couldn't find any code written to handle 'Remember table sorting' configuration.

I have started working on this issue.
For me the status of "Remember table's sorting" is displaying correctly after changing the checkbox and login again.

For me too, but it doesn't work, does it??

[Piyush3079]

No, it is not working for me too.
