Me again.

I was curious if you could add a default setting to sort everything alphabetically automatically. I know we have the option to sort that way, but the default sorting is in whatever order you added folders or files.

It is fairly easy to do it.

Long story short, I think it is an excellent feature - with the difference that there will be no "option". Instead application will just remember the last state.

Longer version:

Instead of adding a setting or configuration of this feature, I think it would be a better idea to save the last state. So that if you sorted last time by "sort by date - ascending", all subsequent displays in same (or other) folders will be with "sort by date - ascending".
This way you will still have to chose preferred sorting type - but only once.
If you would be more interested in "sort by date - descending", display files and folder with letter Z first, just sort it that way once, and all subsequent displays will be with "sort by date - descending".

In preferences there is an option to save view as "list" or "grid". I think this option is redundant. Similar way to sorting, application just needs to remember the last state the user used.

Also, there should be a checkbox displayed of current sorting "mode".
I will take care of this soon.

I fixed the issue.
You'll need to use latest papermerge docker image tagged 1.2.2.
Also, make sure you force refresh browser page so that it will not use cached version of latest javascript file.

Last sort type (i.e. if you sorted by title asc/desc, date asc/desc etc) will be saved into a cookie titled "save_last_sort". When you browse files/folders, that cookie will be sent to server side, and based on it, results will be returned.

Server-side changes
Client-side changes - js code
Latest docker image
