Bug ID: 93099
Summary: UI: sort order triangles (in column headers) do not
follow prevailing convention
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.0.4 rc
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]

screen shots with sorted tables showing a sort order triangle (in LO,
FreeCommander and Firefox)
* Generally observed behaviour in IT (outside LO):
When a table is sorted on a specific column, it can be indicated in the column
header with a triangle. The convention is *nearly* always the following:
- an up triangle (on its base) indicates an ascending order
- a down triangle (on its tip) indicates a descending order.
But there are some exceptions, one of them being GTK.
(As I read, GTK follows by default the opposite of the forementioned
convention, but it can be tweaked.)
* Observed behaviour in LO:
The few tables present in the Tools->Options dialog boxes follow the GTK-like
convention, instead of the most used convention.
* Question:
When displaying sort order triangles, wouldn't it be better to abide by the
most followed rule?
IMHO, this issue is of very minor importance in the present state, but could
concern more cases in the future if sort order triangles become in use for
other features.
