32015 - [feature] Address Book needs to show sort direction in column headers

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect, P3)

Description

[hangas]

In the address book window, the column headers over the results pane need to show 
the sort direction indicator so that it is possible to determine which column is 
sorted and in what direction.  Becki Sanford <[e-mail]> has submitted a 
patch for this behavior.  I have extended the patch to handle the default skin 
design for column headers.  Ben has provided me with xbl code that enables this 
extension in the headers, as well as icons that match the default skin.

Fix checked in.  Column headers over results pane of address book and address 
picker now show an indicator (on the sorted column) that shows which direction 
the column is sorted (ascending or descending).  It works just like 4.x.

Verified that the sorting indicator is present in the Address Book and the 
Address Picker. The indicator appears in the column that is being sorted and its 
direction also changes.

Using build - 2000-06-23-09-M17, this appears to be broken again. Column 
headers don't really show up much at all!  Should this be reassigned to someone 
else?
