Saving user preferences for N8N editor such as "Sort by"

Describe the problem/error/question

Couldn’t find this question, but is there a way to save user preferences like “Sort by” settings within the N8N editor? I always prefer “Sort by A to Z” for workflows and don’t like that I always have to set that preference every time I open the main workflow screen of the editor.

This isn’t a priority, but when editing plenty of workflows within my instance, it would be a nice to have feature if that’s possible.

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

I think I might have used the wrong template for this, but my idea was that you could have some user settings in the editor that would stick during reloads of the page, such as the sorting preferences.

I find it a bit annoying to always have to select “Sort by A to Z” every time as that’s my preference to view workflows, but each time I reload the page or view something else, it returns to “Last updated”.

Not sure if this is a browser item that can be added to save preferences, or if this is a server level change, but just throwing it out there. Happy to hear what others have to say on this.
