This is something that was broken somewhere between 0.9.3 and 0.9.6. What version do you have? I am speaking of all the latest builds. Day after day, they have left the history feature buggy and a simple thing such as the sort order cannot be retained--a small but very annoying issue.

The problem with the loss of your view settings was definitely *not* there in 0.9.3, though I can't say for sure if the sorting problem was there or not, as once I had it sorted correctly, the setting remained and I may never have noticed it.
