Reverse sort order by default

I was a big RockMongo user and am now trying to switch over to Compass. I found it extremely convenient that in RockMongo, the default sort order was {_id: -1} because that means that you see the most recent records first. I didn't realize how useful this was until I discovered that Compass sorts in forward order. Either a "reverse order" button or simply a change to the default would be highly desireable.

I was just going to suggest this!
I really want to see it remember the previously used sort, or specify a default.

Having `{_id: -1}` be the default would be perfect.

Please provide default ordering settings { _id : -1 }

Being able to specify a default ordering would improve the experience x100.
A good idea would be to be able to specify the default value the field "sort" has when a new tab is open.
The setting could be set in the "settings" of compass

Yes please.
When you test a feature and check the DB, you almost always want to see the last inserted entries first.
