Hello team,

Design systems here. We recently took a look at our existing 'Sort' icon and would like to update this icon with a new and improved one. There was some feedback that the icon looked like bullet points. We would need to update all instances of this icon. So far, I'm only aware that it's used in the Library panel (will attach a screenshot of it), but there may be other use cases. If possible, could those other use cases be shared here before proceeding with the update?

The new icon is attached.

Thank you.

This icon is indeed only used in the library window (on Windows and macOS).

However, it's not just for sorting, but there is also a submenu for toggling columns in the view on and off. Is updating the icon to a more sort-specific icon definitely what we want to do here?

Hi Gijs, sorry I was out on PTO! I'll check with the team and get back to you on this.

Where did we land on this? :-)
