Slideshow viewer not adapting sorting mode of files app

[stephanhoennekes]

Actual behavior:
If the slideshow viewer is opened from the files app, its always using standard ascending/alphabetical order by file name (when clicking the arrows).

Expected behavior:
If a descending order by name or any order by file date or file size is chosen in the files app, the slideshow viewer should adopt this behavior by clicking the arrows as it was the case with the old gallery app.

Opening from photos or from the files app?

@skjnldsv
How to fix this?
Does https://github.com/nextcloud/viewer/blob/master/src/services/FileList.js needs an sort parameter?

Thanks @skjnldsv
But how can I query the users sort criteria (by name, size or modified) from files app?

[skjnldsv]

This is unfortunately not implemented yet.
Ideally this should be a proper standard API :/
