Right now, on the change list view, if you are sorting a column ascending, the arrow shown is a down-pointing triangle. If you sort a column descending, it is an up-pointing triangle. This is counter-intuitive, and, I would argue, just plain wrong. Here are my reasons in case you need them: * Up = ascending, down = descending. * An ""up-pointing"" triangle grows small to big, a ""down-pointing"" triangle goes big to small. This maps intuitive to ascending/descending sort order for numbers. * Google image search for sort descending icon: http://www.google.com/images?q=sort+descending+icon . Google image search for sort ascending icon: http://www.google.com/images?q=sort+ascending+icon * Both Mac OS X and Windows consistently use up triangle for ascending and down triangle for descending. My apologies if this has been covered or discussed elsewhere (my search turned up nothing) or if I am overlooking something ridiculous.",,closed,contrib.admin,dev,,fixed,,,Ready for checkin,0,0,0,0,0,0
