Export data doesn't have sorting options. It always exports by entry date. There isn't an option to select the sort when exporting. We may add it in the future, but currently it sorts by entry date by default.
The export is done as a CSV as it is designed for you to then import that CSV file into Excel, Google Spreadsheet, etc. Which is where you would do all your sorting, etc. with the data.
Sorting data on the Entries screen only maintains that sort while you are viewing the entries and paging through the entries you sorted.
It doesn't maintain what sort you selected if you go to another area of the WordPress admin and then return to Entries. Because if you click on "Entries" on the left hand admin sidebar it isn't passing any sorting values so it loads the Entries page using the defaults.
