Define sortOrder

The issue is that, if you set the sort key 'Date' with addon content (as a user), the default sort order is simply wrong. It then shows the content ordered by date, ascending. But for most use cases I can think of, it would be logical to sort by date descending (from newest to oldest) by default and not the other way round. This also means that the newest content is always at the end of a page and on the next page, the content right after that would be at the end of the list again. This doesn't make any sense.

If this cannot be changed entirely in Kodi, is there a way for addons to set whether the sort order of a sort key should be ascending or descending by default, @learningit?
