The default sort for names is ascending (as it should be), however if I get a gazillion matches
for my search (e.g. mathematica) the first thing I do is click the popularity to sort by that.
Unfortunately it keeps the default ascending order of the previous sort and very rarely do I want
to see the least popular packages when searching for something in AUR.
The same also applies for the vote column.
I know this is a pretty minor issue and I'm unsure if it's even solvable in any sensible fashion
but I still wanted to raise it up for the discussion.
