[Feature Request] Add configurable file page default sort order
Author: uwu64Created Aug 2, 2026Updated Aug 2, 2026
Filestash currently supports default file page sort key via general.filepage_default_sort, but not default sort direction. This makes it hard to configure “Name A-Z” as the initial browser state.
Related possible bug- the current menu hardcodes the checkmark next to “Sort By Type” even when sort state is name.
Proposal:
- Add
general.filepage_default_orderwith optionsasc/des. - Export it as default_order in
/api/config. - Use
getConfig("default_order", existing default)in filespage state_config.js. - Render the sort dropdown checkmark from current
state.sort/state.orderinstead of hardcoding it on Sort By Type. - Preserve behavior of localStorage settings overriding defaults.
I can put together a PR if this looks fine. Should be relatively low-risk.
