[SOLVED] Bug Report: CP Entry Manager not retaining sorted columns on pagination links

Description of the problem Losing column sort after clicking pagination links in the CP entry manager.

How To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Go to Entry Manager for channel with more than 25 entries Sort by any column (i.e. Status) Click Page 2 Notice your list is no longer sorted

Environment Details:

Version: [5.4.2] PHP Version [7.4] MySQL Version [5.6.43] OS: [Linux] Web Server: [Apache]

Possible Solution Need to retain the sort paramter within the $link variable when outputting the pagination urls. The following actually works: 1st sorted url on page 1 (sorted by status): /system/index.php?/cp/publish/edit&search_in=titles&perpage=25&search;=&sort_col=column_status&sort_dir=asc

If i simply append “&page=2” to that url, it works. i.e.: /system/index.php?/cp/publish/edit&search_in=titles&perpage=25&search;=&sort_col=column_status&sort_dir=asc&page=2

Default page2 or any page link url without doing the above is: /system/index.php?/cp/publish/edit&search_in=titles&perpage=25&search;=&sort_col=column_entry_date&sort_dir=desc

See the difference?

Hopefully this is an easy fix?
