Is it possible to remember the sort order for a directory?

Describe the question

My default sort order is by last modified. Sometimes, I go into a directory dir1 and change the sort order to name ascending. If I go into a subdirectory sdir2 and back to dir1, the sort order has reset to the default of last modified.

I think this is expected behavior for yazi, but I'm wondering if it's possible to modify yazi to remember sort orders? Some GUI file browsers have this type of behavior, but I suppose it requires keeping some sort of memory of folders visited and last sort order, so perhaps it's outside of the scope of the yazi project.

Anything else?

Maybe we could provide a dotfile in those dirs like .yzdsrt or something similar which has some metadata about the sorting order and Yazi can check those files when it enters a folder?

If that were the solution, then I suppose one would also want to save toggle hidden status, linemode...others?

Uhhh and custom sorting like I already asked for :)

Could also be used to "pin" directories at the top or color-code/change font of certain directories so that they are more visible
