observing list: sort order not remembered

[axd1967]

Expected Behaviour

Selected order should be remembered per list.

Actual Behaviour

Not remembered, even if there exists a JSON field sorting.

Steps to reproduce

System

• Stellarium 24.4+
  Version 24.4.8-0de39da [master]
  Based on Qt 5.12.8
• Operating system: <Name, version number>
• Graphics Card: <Manufacturer (likely Intel, NVidia, AMD?), Model (HD, Geforce, Radeon..., with model number), driver version?>
• Screen type (if applicable): Resolution, HighDPI, scaling

Logfile

If possible, attach the logfile log.txt from your user data directory. Look into the Guide for its location.

Without having time to test that now: not sure why we even have the sorting key (not my design, and practically undocumented...).

It may be useful to allow a sort action in Edit mode and store the sequence. In view mode, sorting might just sort the view, leaving the underlying file unchanged. Whoever changes that, view the "tainted" variable.
