- Default behavior: newest items appear first (True) - Add menu action 'Sort newest history item first' in View menu - Implement settings methods to save/load sort preference: * getHistorySortNewestFirst() - returns True by default (newest first) * setHistorySortNewestFirst() - saves user preference - Add _apply_sort_setting() method in HistoryWidget to reverse data when needed - Apply sort setting in all history data update paths: * _on_history_changed() - when history changes * _on_toggle_view() - when switching between static/dynamic views * _on_copy_to_queue_clicked() - when copying items (fixes row index mapping) * onStatusChanged() - when plans become available - Connect menu action in MainWindow to toggle sort direction - Update menu action checked state to reflect current setting
- Add 'Save History' menu action in File menu - Add save button in history widget toolbar - Implement doSaveHistory() method in MainWindow to save history as CSV - Extract data with separate columns for Status, Name, Detector, Arguments, Metadata, User - Apply current sort setting to saved data (matches display) - Include sort order indication at end of CSV file - Add writeHistoryFile() method to handle file dialog and CSV writing - Add extract_row_data() and extract_arguments() helper methods

Works for me. What's the difference between the placement of the sort order in the View menu v. File menu Preferences?
Good enough for now. Might reconsider if a dialog for Preferences is implemented.
