Bug ID: 470903
Summary: Indicator icons for sorting order are reversed
Classification: Applications
Product: plasma-systemmonitor
Version: 5.27.5
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
When sorting tasks in the system monitor by a metric of any particular column
(CPU Time/Memory/...), the icon displayed next to the column header to indicate
the sort order seemingly isn't consistent with the actual sort order. The
indicated sort order is exactly the opposite.
I interpret the "^" and "v" indicator symbols as rotated "greater
than"/"smaller than" symbols. Just like "1<4", I expect top elements to be
smaller than bottom elements if the displayed
There are probably other interpretations than this (for example one could
consider the indicator symbols as stylized arrows instead, which wouldn't
clearly imply any particular meaning though), but (from a design perspective) I
couldn't think of any that would uniquely imply the ordering *currently* used
by system monitor. More importantly, my interpretation is also consistent with
MacOS and with Dolphin (the only other KDE software I could think of that has
sortable columns).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open system monitor
2. Click on the "Memory" column in system monitor to sort tasks by memory use.
If need be, click twice so it shows the "^" icon
OBSERVED RESULT
The process with the largest memory consumption is at the top of the list. (NOT
consistent with MacOS/Dolphin).
EXPECTED RESULT
The process with the largest memory consumption should be at the bottom of the
list. The one with the *lowest* memory use should be at the top. (Consistent
with MacOS and Dolphin)
