petermad already answered on this question:
I think that the only string 2121 that can be universal for all settings is simply: 2121="Re&verse order" leaving out the "(last visited at the top)" part, because it is unpredictable what will end up at the top.
And I already added some info:
Of course, .... on the help page - you can explain this parameter in much more detail (*) - taking into account the options for the location of 'paths' blocks relative to each other and sorting within the blocks
(*)=for example, it would be very appropriate and clearer if you used pictures for explanations. For some reason, you have very few pictures inside help file. Too pity. It's just that the text is very rarely perceived in detail, especially if the option has to do with changing something constantly visible on the screen - then the difference in using the option should be clearly seen, and not just read about the fact of its presence.

"Reverse order (Recently visited directories at the top)"
Just "Reverse order" - it covers both the scenario where there are 2 list (History list and Most Frequently Used list) where the order of those 2 lists is reversed - and the scenario where there is only the History list and the order in that list is reversed.

I agree.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"A picture is worth a thousand words" is an adage in multiple languages meaning that complex and sometimes multiple ideas[1] can be conveyed by a single still image, which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description.

A picture is worth a thousand words was one 1913 newspaper advertisement (110 years ago).
Meaning: Seeing something is better for learning than having it described.

Talking about pictures - please look at this again: viewtopic.php?p=432737#p432737

If "Show last visited directory closest to the middle of the list" is enabled and "Show most recently used directories" is disabled - then the function ""Reverse order (last visited at the top)" does the opposite of what is says, regarding the top - but it still reverses the order, so that is why 2121="Reverse order" would be the best solution.
