Persistent ascending/descending sort order for column values

I want to change sort order for column values to ascending/descending. I also want new inserted rows to take account of the sort order set for the column values.

Solution with todays design: Descending column values can be achieved by using "Edit -> Column Properties -> Sort Order -> Custom Sort Order -> Configure -> Reverse". Reset sort order after adding new rows and apply reverse sort order again.

Problem: There is no way in the current system design to let the new rows take account of your custom sort order. The custom sort order is by design only persistent for existing values, which is logical.

Enhancement request: Give me the ability to set the sort order to ascending/descending for column values of all DataTypes. Possibly with an option to make it persistent/non-persistent, though it may be unnecessary as the non-persistent already can be performed by using the reverse-function mentioned above.
