Change default sort order to time

[limaceous-bushwhacker]

Currently, I'm trying to change the default sort order to time, but I also want to keep my home directory sorted using version. I've set NNN_ORDER to v for $HOME, but it doesn't seem to work. I suspect it's getting overwritten due to the nnn -Tt command.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set NNN_ORDER to v for $HOME in the nnn configuration.
2. Run nnn -Tt to set the sort order to time.

Expected behavior:
The home directory should be sorted using version, while other directories should be sorted by time.

Actual behavior:
All directories are sorted using time.

I've set NNN_ORDER to v for $HOME

Show where and how you're setting it.

As an env var with export NNN_ORDER="v:$HOME"

I suspect it's getting overwritten due to the nnn -Tt command.

This seems to be the case. I can reproduce as well.

The order priority is set here:

6882                         if ((!cfgsort[cfg.curctx] || (cfgsort[cfg.curctx] == 'c'))
6883                             && ((r = get_kv_key(order, path, maxorder, NNN_ORDER)) > 0)) { // NOLINT  

So when there is a clear user choice to order for a context, all directories follow that (including the ones having a order choice which is overridden).
Otherwise, we will never be able to change the order of a directory that has a preset order using NNN_ORDER.

Maybe we can have an option to prioritise NNN_ORDER always but somehow that feels like over-engineering to me.
