Why? We can remember what the last (current) sorting flags are, and not sort
again if they haven't changed. So doing it every time is really the worst case,
but not the common case.

It's actually pretty hard to change the sorting of an iconview when you don't see
the iconview anymore and you see an embedded image viewer instead :)

Yeah I'm starting to wonder if it's really the best solution. We could just as well
store a stringlist in the right place.
