Lists are already sorted using one or more attribute by default, but it 
isn't always visible, E.G. Opportunities are sorted by priority and next 
action date. we could find a solution to give it more visible.

I take note what you write about product list, we could sort by Product 
Name. About category, when an object has Categories, there is always a 
group by Category. You can use it to sort easily by category. You can 
also give you idea to sort other list views

I think it is better to keep a visible list, if there are attributes 
used by default to sort data, user can expect to see directly data he 
needs (e.g. Opportunities). If the sorted list isn't suitable for user, 
he can use other filter.

If a user uses always same parameters, he can save it. but list view is 
often used to search a particular document in a given time. It could be 
less user friendly if the system remembers last sort.
