Futon's Temp View and View output automatically sets descending=true with
nothing to let the user know this is the case. Expose query url in the UI to
clarify.

Key: COUCHDB-816
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-816
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Futon
Affects Versions: 0.11
Environment: Mac OS X 10.6.4, Google Chrome 5.0.375.55
Reporter: Adam Venturella
Priority: Minor
Propose to provide feedback to the user with the query url that was used to
generate the output or set Futon to output as querying a view would output.
Additionally, clicking the chevron in the upper right of Futon when displaying
a view/temp view shows the raw output, but it shows it as it would be returned
by querying the view not through Futon. In all the Futon UI has a bit of
bi-polar disorder in the consistency which it displays it's information as it
relates to views and temp views =)
A really fancy, definitely more work, pie in the sky solution would be to
provide configurable query string options when running the view/temp view.
Really though, just showing the query that was actually run to generate the
results (with the query options) would be a great first step. This would expose
that descending is set to true which can then be taken into account if, for
example, you are writing a list.
