Sort a List / Document Library view using URL

This one's an add-on to the previous post. Even though it's quite quick to sort items in a List / Document Library view by clicking on the column title, you can do this also by using URL. Just add parameters

?SortField=[Field Name]&SortDir=[Asc / Desc]

Example: to sort by Title descending, type ?SortField=Title&SortDir=Desc

When is it more worth to use URL instead of clicking? When you...

... like typing urls :)
... need to use this in a script
... need to make direct links manually
... don't want to create an extra view just for sorting
