Frontend model state not remembered

[Janich]

Hi

During the development of a new frontend component, I noticed the model state isn't remembered across the session.

A quick demo:

http://demo17.cloudaccess.net/using-joomla/extensions/components/contact-component/contact-single-category.html

- Click the header on a column to sort by it

- Update the page (without resending the POST - try click on the addressbar and click enter instead)

- The column sort is lost

It seems odd this is the case on the frontend models as the backend models keeps it across the session (which it also should in the frontend imho).

Anyone experienced this or got some tips on how to get around it (manually storing it in the session?)?
