Jeremy,

And also that it should be possible for group owners to set - for such
things - a group default (that can be overridden by users), based on
their group and their understanding of its members, in the settings
section.

A difficulty I see with that is "when does it apply".

It can't be each time I visit the page, because then I'd be in the same boat I'm in now, but with a group-chosen default instead of a site-chosen one.

Applying the group default only when I (the member) have never used the viewing control (in the current browser) would suit me fine, but might make some owners feel like their setting isn't working.

Applying the group default at each fresh login might be a suitable compromise. But like most compromises runs the risk of satisfying no one.

Another difficulty (though mostly work for Mark) is that this would now introduce a per-group dependence in the user's view controls. Too, as a person with multiple group subscriptions, I might find it disconcerting to have the view order change just because I navigated to another group.
