Details

When a column is ascending, the smallest values (smallest numbers) are on top, but the arrow is facing downwards. This implies that the column is sorted descending rather than ascending. http://cl.ly/image/1o1a1d181r2J This should be reversed. When a list is sorted ascending, the arrow should face upwards and when the list is sorted descending, the arrow should face downwards.
Against. 1 2 3 is downwards to me.
When you write greater than/less than, it's written such that the larger end faces the larger number. This should match our arrows. 3 < 4 3 ^ 4 The arrow should indicate which values are on top vs. which values are on the bottom. The "direction" of the arrow is a purely human construct; the width at the top/bottom expresses the physical ordering of the list.

That's exactly what we do upstream. bmo uses its own code to sort columns, and arrows are reversed. So I will let glob and dkl decide if they want to fix this problem or not.

(In reply to Matt Basta [:basta] from comment #2) > 3 < 4 > > 3 > ^ > 4 Exactly. For me, these signs are not even arrows, these are triangles, and their shape is an image of the sorted values in the list. Most of the operating systems I have encountered display the triangles in their lists as you - and me - want.
