@tchee There is a bug in the prefs UI: when deactivating "show sidebar", the new option isn't grayed out. What I'd do is make the whole `vbox46` insensitive in `on_sidebar_visible_toggled()` -- and renamed the glade ID to something more sensible, like i.e. `box_sidebar_visible_children` or alike.

--- Also, what about using an multi-choice UI like this (or a drop-down, but well) instead of a checkbox?:  This would * make it easier for the user to see the available options * make it easier to add new options in the future (although unlikely)

And while at it, what about storing the actual sort mode in the prefs instead of a flag? Again, scales better.

If we want the above, I have some working version I could polish and publish.
