Notification sounds: "No sound" setting unintuitive

Requests:

  • On the sound selection screen, reorder the items to make clear that "No sound" does not belong to "Select from music files".
  • On the notification sounds overview screen, mark notifications that are muted as such.

(See the screenshots below for suggestions.)

Concerns: Settings and Ambiences

Reasons: Currently, it is quite easy to overlook that a notification sound is muted:

  • On sound selection screen, there is on top of the list the current notification sound clip -- and no indication, that it could be switched off by "No sound", which is located between "Select from music files" and the list of original Jolla sounds, i.e. it seems that this does not relate to the current ... tone.
  • On the notification sounds overview screen there is no indication at all, when a sound is muted altogether.

PS: I already missed calls because by chance notification sound had been muted and I could not figure out immediately why.
