Resetting Network sort order is counter-intuitive

Reported by d...@dan-atkinson.com, Sep 21

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Dev Tools and go to Network tab. Ensure that 'All' is chosen for the types.
2. Make a request to https://www.google.com/
3. On the list, press the 'Name' column header to sort the resource requests by name.
4. Press it again to sort in descending order.
5. Now remove the sort.

What is the expected behavior?
I would expect to be able to press the Name column a third time to remove the sort on it and put it back to the default.

What went wrong?
I have to right-click on the column name, choose 'Waterfall' and click 'Start Time' (which is already checked!) in order to reset the sort order. This doesn't make sense and is extremely odd behaviour.

There is no information detailing 'Waterfall' and it certainly wouldn't be expected that a user should have to click something that is already checked.

Did this work before? N/A

I had to Google this to find out what the heck to do, and found the below blog post.

If people have to perform a search in order to find out how to do something simple, you have a counter-intuitive UI and UX.
