Hey there @mangell
First, I doubt we'll know "why" this is the way it is. It's very possible it is just an oversight. That being said, I find that most standard Square reports are like this -- they don't retain change to default filters/sorting. Anyway, I hoped that you could just "right click" on an employee name to open details, but that doesn't seem to work. There is no "open in new tab/window" in the popup menu. So....
You'll need to head to the feature request board and ask the team to consider making this sort option "sticky."
Lastly, I'm confused by this statement you made -- "I know I can change it, but it requires me to click it to "Last, First" and then click the left hand column to get it to sort.". I don't have to click the left hand column to get it to sort when I switch between "First Last" and "Last, First." It automatically re-sorts. It's weird that it works for me but not for you.
