I certainly don't *need* all the options either, but after you've been
reading here for a while you'll quickly discover that there are hundreds
of different opinions of "need" .... yours is different from mine, but both
of ours are probably a lot less than the typical writer here.

There are at least 4 states for "Read Status", maybe more.  I think this
is the real problem for most, and could be solved by breaking those apart.
Then "ascending" and "descending" might make more sense.
