I like this approach of using icons with meaning for each column. For time, I would suggest trying with downward pointing diagonal arrows, like ↘ and ↙. The reasoning for this is that progressbars in videos have already established the idea that "the past" is to the left, and "the future" is to the right. So, ↘ would mean that earlier in time results are on top, and ↙ will mean that later in time results are on top. cheers, -- alecu -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design Post to : unity-design@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-design More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
