Panel sorting swaps with panels - for a while

Description

After CmdSwapPanel (ctrl-u) panels sortings swap as well, but only until next reread (either by ctrl-r or chdir), then it backs, e.g.:

  1. left: order by name, right: by size,
  2. ctrl-u,
  3. left: order by size, right: by name,
  4. ctrl-r, (tab, ctrl-r),
  5. left: order by name, right: by size.

Before this glitch could be fixed the question must be answered, either sorting should follow it's panel while swapping, or not. Currently - it doesn't (except for temporary initial state), sorting sticks to it's side (left-right/top-bottom).

Replying to gotar:

the question must be answered, either sorting should follow it's panel while swapping, or not.

I'd prefer that all panel options must follow the panel because panel options are options of panel not options of panel location.

On the opposite - what's the point of swapping panels along with their options? Then it's position only, mostly irrevelant, while swapping contents without options gives user a possibility to quickly peek on something and get back to primary view.
So after consideration I'd prefer to swap panels locations only.

I think we should add an option to switch the mode of file listing panel swapping:

  • trivial swap, the swap of panel positions. Panel content and all panel options follow for the panel.
  • swap of panel content, as is at the current time (default).

  • Branch state set to no branch

Please note that the original problem still remains: in default mode, after the swap, the sorting order indicators in the header line on top of the screen are inconsistent with the actual sorting order of files in the panels.

This is confusing for the user, as it takes a manual reload on both panels to fix the inconsistency.

Expected behaviour: swapping the panels should automatically reload panels to make their content consistent with the sorting order settings.

Thanks for the report.
Fixed in 4270_cleanup branch: [5fa7c2c019e23de5626d5588ae51fb3316c39273].
