Description
I am using the "Atlas generation" feature of the QGIS print composer. It seems that the "Feature sorting" value is not remembered when a QGIS file is closed and re-opened. For example, if I sort by a field, "page_name", the PDF pages are correctly ordered by this field when I export them; however, if I close and re-open the document the print composer will return to using the first field as the sort field and the pages in the PDF will be exported in a seemingly random order.
From my limited knowledge of how QGIS works, I suspect the sort order is being saved, but is not being read when QGIS is re-opened. I tested this by opening the .qgs file in a text editor and it seems that the sortKey field is, in fact, saved in the document (for example, if "page_name" was the fifth column, there will be a value of sortKey=4 in the .qgs file). The problem seems to be that this field is not read when a document is re-opened (e.g. it just goes back to using sortKey=0).

I can't replicate this... are you able to confirm whether you still see this occurring in the current dev master version?

I'm closing this issue as that code has since been rewritten and I can't replicate. Please reopen if you still experience this issue.
