Apologies if this is not the correct spot for this. Didn't see a general questions thread.

I recently upgraded from 5.44 to 6.2.1, and I noticed the the following behaving differently in 6.2.1 than in 5.44 (and all the earlier versions that I remember using).

1. Calibre no longer remembers the last sort setting. For example, I can sort by date added (descending - most recent on top) by clicking on the Date column twice. Next, I highlight a book and click on the Author column to sort by Author and see all books by that Author. If I then click on the Date column again, Calibre sorts the books by Date but in Ascending order (oldest on top). Older versions of Calibre used to go back to the previously used sorting method (descending in this case).
Is this intended, or is there a setting that I can change to get the old behavior back?

2. Calibre now only clears a multiple selection by either clicking outside that selection or on the row number (or other non-editable column) of one of the selected books. For example, I can select multiple books by clicking on one and shift-clicking on another. Previously, I could clear the multi-selection and select only one book within that multi-selection by clicking anywhere on the row for the book I wanted to highlight. Now, if I click on any editable column within that multi-selection, that field is in edit mode, and the multi-selection stays active. Causes a bit of a problem if I want to edit the metadata of one book and not all those that had previously been selected. If I click on a book not within the multi-selection or on a non-editable column within the multi-selection, the multi-selection is cleared.
Is this intended, or is there a setting that I can change to get the old behavior back?

Thanks!
