[Github-comments] [geany] Make it possible to define default symbol_list_sort_mode (#581)

I don't really think it's necessary - in my opinion it behaves in a predictable way with this patch: it defines a default sort mode for newly open files (unless overridden by filetype settings).

This is not a per-document settings - it's a global default settings for the sorting. The per-document settings already exists - it's symbol_list_sort_mode which languages like markdown set to 1 (sorting by appearance). 

But right now if symbol_list_sort_mode is not specified in the filetype configuration, it always defaults to sorting by name. What this patch does is that it lets you select which of the sorting modes is the default one.
