[PATCH 22/35] perf report: Allow configuring the default sort order in ~/.perfconfig

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

Allows changing the default sort order from "comm,dso,symbol" to some
other default, for instance "sym,dso" may be more fitting for kernel
developers.
