If even you--an expert software developer--only just noticed that now, I think that's a fairly good confirmation that it's not a very discoverable feature. :-) > On top of that, the default view (when you don't change anything as a user) is a the detailed view Not yet; the default view is still Short View, which doesn't show column headers. Even if we change it (in D12327 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D12327>), we will still have one of the two primarily-featured modes lacking headers and therefore an easilt discoverable way to change the sort order.
