Spot on Ziya.. so the next question which I should have asked Leah alreday
but never did, should have been:

- what kind of data are you trying to facilitate sorting of?

Only then design can happen...

Good advice.

Not so good advice. There are over 500 million people online. Several
hundred million of them will not have used or become UI-intimate with a
database and a spreadsheet.

Again, this issue is not very clear.

Alpha -> a-z, z-a
Numeric -> 0-9?, 1-9?, 1-10?
Date -> ??
Volume -> 1-5?
Rating -> 1-10? (10 best or worst?)
Compression -> 1-10? (is 10 best quality or highest compression?)
a-z -> ascending or descending?
Etc.
