I figured, which is why I didn't wait for comment before committing.

I think that that is good behavior from a UI perspective, from the grid.
What I'm contesting is when other code calls:
biz.sort("myfield")
biz.sort("myfield")
I think it should default to "ASC" instead of changing the sort order
every time.
IOW, move the cycling up the chain to the grid, where there's actually a
UI involved where this behavior makes sense. As it stands, I need to
change my calls from my bizobjs to:
biz.sort("myfield", "ASC")
for them to be consistent each time I sort.
