Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.3.3 64 bit on Windows 20h2 x64

If on linux, libtorrent-rasterbar and Qt version

(type here)

What is the problem

When I select a torrent, and I have changed the ordering to how I like it, for instance, to show all the files with "jpg" in it, or percent complete highest to lowest, when I select another torrent, and then select my original torrent, all the files with jpg in it don't show, and the ordering is changed.

What is the expected behavior

If I select a certain ordering for a torrent, while my session is active, I don't want that to be applied to every single torrent I have downloading. I want qbittorrent to remember, so that when I select that torrent again, I will see it ordered the way I had last left it. If I have searched for "jpg" in that one torrent, after I have selected another torrent, and then select that original torrent again, I want to see it the way I left it, with all the "jpg" files showing, or if I have certain folders expanded, when that torrent loses focus, when I come back to it, I want to see it ordered that way, with those certain folders expanded.

Steps to reproduce

Download two different torrents. With the first, in the content tab, sort it from progress highest to lowest, and then select the second torrent, and order it progress lowest to highest, then go back to the original torrent and find that the ordering has changed. In fact, you will find that, for instance, if you choose ordering highest to lowest, when you switch torrents, the new torrent selection will not be ordered the way you have selected, such as progress highest first to lowest. Or if you choose the name highest to lowest, when you select a new torrent, it will not be ordered that way.

Extra info(if any)

I guess this is actually 2 issues in one: first to remember the ordering, search items, etc in the one torrent, so that when I select another torrent, and then the original one, the content will be displayed the way I had left it. The second is that, after having selected an ordering in a torrent, it will change the order, but when you select a new torrent, the results will not show up like that, the way you had ordered for the first one, but then you have to click the column headers again to order it.
