[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Severity: normal

In ibuffer-mode, the command `ibuffer-invert-sorting’ reverse the order of buffers. But when the command is used the second time, the order does not return to normal.

It happens only when sorting by recency. Does ibuffer re-visit the buffers when re-displaying them?

If you call it three times, it does return to normal.  :-)  Until you
hit `g' again.

This should now work better in Emacs 28.

Uhm, not really -- the problem is that every time ibuffer-redisplay is
called, the order is inverted...  since there is no explicit `recency'
sorter.

I've now added such a sorter, and that fixes the problem.  However, this
effectively reverts e782065477917c10759d618e43b2ec18330ffae3, which made
calling `ibuffer-do-sort-by-recency' twice (permanently) reverse the
sorting order...  which I think is pretty odd, since there's already a
command for that.
