[Sigia-l] Arrows and Sort Order

[George Supreeth]

"Does anyone know of a de facto standard for this? For instance, are
users 
more likely to interpret the arrow as a visual echo of the direction of
the 
column, or as ascending/descending indicators?" <snip>

Here's an interesting thing I've noticed with people using elevators in
India.
Some people press the 'DOWN' arrow, when they need to go up. (The
elevator is above them)
I think the logic is... "By pressing the down arrow, I'm calling the
machine down...
Many people press both buttons... Why take a chance.


As for arrows in sort, I think almost everyone depends on 
the visual feedback after they click on one of the arrows.
