No way to get the current sort column in GtkColumnView
As per designer's guidance, Files should have a sort menu regardless of view mode (grid or list).
However, it's not possible to get the current sort column in GtkColumnView.
My best-effort has been to clear the menu when the GtkSorter changes by any other means (such as the user clicking a column header), but is far from ideal.
(current implementation in nautilus!817 (merged))
So, I'd like to request something like a gtk_column_view_get_current_sort_column()
. Or a ::sort-column-changed
signal. In either case, it should not only provide the column but also whether it is reverse-sorted.
I can help provide a patch if you tell me the the preferred API design.
