+### Persistent column sort
+
+Kanboard's native column sort is a one-shot physical reorder: it rewrites task positions once, so
+the order already survives refreshes, but a newly created or dropped-in card lands out of order
+until you sort again -- and there is no sort-by-title. This tweak replaces the per-column sort
+control with one that:
+
+- adds a **number-aware Title sort** (A to Z / Z to A), so "Task 2" sorts before "Task 10";
+- adds a **Persistent sort: ON / OFF** toggle. When ON, the column is re-sorted (server-side,
+  physically) whenever a card is dropped into it or created in it, so it **stays** sorted; when
+  OFF it behaves exactly like the native one-shot sort.
+
+The header icon shows the state: the native double-arrow when persistent is OFF, and a **red
+single arrow** (up for ascending, down for descending) when it is ON.
+
+- Reorders reuse core's `TaskReorderModel` for the native criteria (id / priority / assignee /
+  due date) and add the title sort; the sticky re-apply runs on the move / creation events.
+- The control is injected via the `template:board:column:dropdown` hook + `Asset/js/relocate.js`
+  (which also hides the native sort menu). Per-column state lives in project metadata.
