If you use the MySQL backend, folder states will be maintained across
sessions.  I will implement this in the FS backend as well, but it's
not there yet.

Sounds like a good idea.  I'll see what I can do.

I'll think about that.  In your particular case, I think the solution is
to just change the sort order.  You can do this by setting the "Sort
order" to "ascending" in Options (under "List View Options").
