#13948: The sort arrows on the UI for the admin list display are backwards ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: jsdalton | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: Component: django.contrib.admin | Version: SVN Keywords: | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 0 | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- The sort arrows on the column headers of the admin change list view are backwards (i.e. inverted).
Right now, on the change list view, if you are sorting a column ascending, the arrow shown is a down-pointing triangle. If you sort a column descending, it is an up-pointing triangle. This is counter-intuitive, and, I would argue, just plain wrong. Here are my reasons in case you need them: * Up = ascending, down = descending. * An "up-pointing" triangle grows small to big, a "down-pointing" triangle goes big to small. This maps intuitive to ascending/descending sort order for numbers. * Google image search for sort descending icon: http://www.google.com/images?q=sort+descending+icon . Google image search for sort ascending icon: http://www.google.com/images?q=sort+ascending+icon * Both Mac OS X and Windows consistently use up triangle for ascending and down triangle for descending. My apologies if this has been covered or discussed elsewhere (my search turned up nothing) or if I am overlooking something ridiculous. -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13948> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
