@TheFonz yes, since we have activated sorting via table headers we have two different pieces of code for sorting the movies; we have influence how the movies will get sorted from within the filter panel whereas we have no influence how it will get sorted via the table columns.. since there is no singe piece of code any more I am thinking of removing this settings (because as you see it is not _complete_)

It's true that tmm cannot know the last used actual sort order because the user might have clicked some column header which ends up being different from the sort order set in the filter dialog. But can't it just remember sort setting in the filter dialog and apply it when tmm starts, no matter what sort order was actually used in the previous session, if "Persist UI filters" option is enabled? No need for the separate "Persist sort order" setting since the dialog already contains sort setting. In a sense it currently always applies the default sort setting (title in ascending order) when tmm starts. If this was implemented, it would remember and apply another sort setting when the option is enabled.
