I can see this being useful, but I think it needs to be organized a
little better.

Sort key and sort direction should be separate settings.

 

I agree.

I'm not sure why we need to have separate settings to sort by schema
name and table name.

I think sorting by schema name, object name makes sense for people, who have objects of same name in different schemas.
