I do agree, I would like to point that there is a good example at
www.bluenile.com  the fine jewelry web site, which offers a "build your own
ring" feature for the people to find customized engagement rings.

Users may list the results of a diamond search contextulized, in an easy way
for learning how to order the list of results. So the application offers
them both arrows (Ascendent order and descendent order) close together for
them to try to order the results as they want.

I think that it doesn't matter so much whether the user will interpret the
arrow as descencing or ascencing first time, the point is to encourage them
to interact with the arrow for them to be able to order any results list as
they need. As soon as they press the triangle or icon they will perceive the
action behind it learnig how to use it.
