Well, this is obviously easy to customize... and indeed I've got a ready
patch to do just that... but I've been told before to avoid
customization and prefer sane defaults instead. So which do we want,
really? If you want sorting customizable, then I'll also include a patch
to make saving new saved searches append vs. prepend customizable too,
as that's important if you don't want sorting.

It's fine for me either way, really, with or without customization, as
long as one of these ways is upstreamed and I don't have to carry the
patches for myself...

BR,
Jani.
