closes #5008

Description

This pull request implements the ability to remember the "Sort By" selection for playlists between sessions.
Previously, sorting preferences were not retained after restarting the application.

To ensure persistence, I used localStorage instead of sessionStorage, so the selected sorting option remains even after restarting FreeTube.

Desktop

• OS: Windows 11
• OS Version: 24H2 (OS Build 26100.3476)
• FreeTube version: 0.23.2

Additional context

This feature improves user experience by keeping sorting preferences saved permanently, rather than resetting after each session.

This should be in a store rather than localStorage.

@MarmadileManteater Thank you for feedback! I noticed your suggestion to store the data in a more appropriate place instead of localStorage. Would it be better to store this data in a database?

[MarmadileManteater]

Yes, it should be in one of the stores. FreeTube uses nedb to store its persistent data. https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/tree/development/src/renderer/store/modules
