Sorting Opportunities by a Specific Column and having ACT! save your sorting preference

[#1]

I like seeing all of my Opportunities, regardless of where I view them, by newest to oldest Open Date, but ACT! defaults to displaying them from least to greatest Total value when I open the Opportunities Tab or Opportunities List.  Seeing the opportunities with the smallest total dollar value displayed at the top of the list serves no purpose for me, and I have to re-sort them by Open Date whenever I view them.  I would like to be able to set the display order once and always be able to come back to the Opportunities displayed in that order, regardless of whether I maneuver away from that area or shut down and restart ACT!.  Please consider the possibility of adding this feature to ACT!.  Many thanks.

Awfully quiet here.  Anyone else think this is a good idea?  Anyone?  Bueller?  Bueller?

This IS a great idea, and one I hope that the Act! development team include it as one of their "low hanging fruit" in an upcoming release!  

Users have been asking for a "sticky" sort order in the Documents and Opportunity tabs for many past versions.  Times up!

BTW Impact Suite does this today.

I just updated ACT! v20.0 to Update 6 and a 'sticky' sort order has not been considered yet.  It would be different if there was an obvious good reason why the Opportunities List un-sorts itself every time I view it, but I can't imagine any reason why that would be.  Please consider incorporating a sticky sorting order for the Opportunities List.  Having to re-sort my 4000+ opportunities by the Open Date column every time I view the Opportunities List is both frustrating and time consuming.

Besides pauluptime, has anyone else given this any thought?  I can't think of any reason why this would not be a good, and fairly easy, modification to the software.
