Description Jeff Berman 2006-05-26 05:51:55 UTC 
The direction of the sort direction arrows is backwards from a Windows/Mac OS perspective.  On those systems, when sorting Subjects from A to Z, the arrow would denote this by pointing up, but instead in pan it points down.  It can be quite disorienting at first when the sort buttons don't work as expected!  However,  I looked at a bunch of Gnome screenshots, and it appears that in Gnome the arrow direction is reversed from those other GUIs.

A quick scan of a few stock gtk apps' Tree Views
(the gtk file chooser, file roller's main window tree,
nautilus' view-as-list) shows that Pan is behaving in
a manner consistent with GTK.

I don't know why the tree arrows point the way they do,
but this isn't a Pan problem per se.

Bumping this ticket up the food chain to GTK+.

(Seems this has been discussed before:
