Comment (by sabernhardt):

 @jfortune One method you should be able to do today is to set the sort
 order you want, and then create a browser bookmark that you then visit
 instead of clicking the All Pages links. For your pages, the URL probably
 will end like this:
 `/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page&orderby=date&order=desc`

 It could be worth trying to make these page lists remember the sort order
 after a user clicks a column header. Users likely would not expect and/or
 desire that every time, but they might appreciate it significantly more
 often than not.

 Revising the default order, though, would be better in a plugin. (I see a
 few—such as Simple Page Ordering—that allow drag and drop to re-sort pages
 to a specific arrangement, but I haven't found a plugin that changes the
 automatic sorting).
