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.

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.

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

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.

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.
