Self-explanatory really!

Configures per-table.

Default sorting would allow for overrides anyway, and ‘most recently created’ is wrong 99% of the time (in my experience!).

Came back to revisit - still need this!

Every time I add a linked record field that’s editable I have to repeat the same sorting (and filtering!) preferences.
