Just an idea, when a column is in use as a sort field, could we not add/make visible a sort order widget, which is then used to control the sort ordering of the column. Eg, click the column to activate sorting by that field, with the details you described. It then gains a simple widget (a large \u2193 ?) in the column header, which when clicked toggles the sort order on that column, without affecting the position in the sorting list. This would remove the ambiguity about what clicking the header of a column does - it always toggles sorting by that column, and provides a simple and obvious way to change the sort order.
