13948	The sort arrows on the UI for the admin list display are backwards	Jim Dalton	nobody	"The sort arrows on the column headers of the admin change list view are backwards (i.e. inverted).

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
