Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

The value of the podcast episode sort order dropdown is currently saved globally. Save it on a per podcast basis instead.

Why would this be helpful?

Different types of podcasts have different reasonable sort orders. For example:
Serial podcasts like "Serial" or "The Adventure Zone" are meant to be listened to in episode order. They should be sorted by episode (ascending) by default
Episodic podcasts like "The Daily" or "Stuff you should know" have standalone episodes and should be sorted by pub date (descending) by default

These defaults should be honored when viewing a podcast for the first time, and if the user changes the order, it should be saved for that podcast.

V2.17.7
