Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Widget: Mac, defect)

Description

[ms]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

I like to sort my open and save dialogs by date (newest first).  This is a new
(old) feature in Mac OS X 10.4, and very welcome indeed.  Some apps remember my
settings, but this version of Firefox does not, and I wish it did.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose the Open File Dialog
2. View as list (left option)
3. Click the Date Modified column header to sort by date
4. Open a file.
5. Choose the Open File Dialog.  
(works with Save File dialog as well)
Actual Results:  
It has reverted from date sort to name sort.

Expected Results:  
Remembered the sort.

That should be done by calling ::NavCustomControl with the kNavCtlSortBy
constant. See
