Main table sorting also seems to have disappeared from Preferences

[geekoverdose]

JabRef version 5.0-dev (master--latest)

• [x ] I have tested the latest development version from http://builds.jabref.org/master/ and the problem persists

Besides the maintable not being sortable by clicking the column headers atm (#4886), the sorting described in JabRef's main window "The default sort order can be set up in Preferences → Entry table" seems to not show up in the preferences. I would guess it would be in "Entry table" tab as the docs say and where it is in 4.3, or in "Entry table columns" tab. Did that move somewhere else for 5.0 and are the docs simply out of sync, or is that a bug/not implemented yet?

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In 5.0, open preferences: sorting is missing in "Entry table" (as well as in "Entry table columns")

Simliar to the column width, the sort order is stored on change and can be directly manipulated in the maintable, it is stored but however currently not reapplied after startup: #4224 (comment)

OK, to clarify: this does not exist in the preferences in 5.0 anymore on purpose, as it should only be done directly through the maintable? Then I guess this actually is not an issue and sorting instead just depends on #4886 and #4224 being fixed. Thx!

Yes, it was removed on purpose, because it is more intuitive to change sorting via the maintable.
