Re: [Gramps-users] [Gramps-devel] Question about column sorting

[Gerald B. <ger...@gm...>]

Don -- Today I was following the instructions you just sent out
regarding intermittent corruption of grdbs (hope you get to the bottom
of it soon!)  While doing so, I noticed the dialog for selecting files
is schizophrenic wrt sort arrows. Click on "Modified", the down arrow
indicates descending order, with the most recent files on the top of
the list).  However, click on "Name", you see a down arrow in the
column heading, yet the files are sorted in ascending alphabetical
order!

Confusing, isn't it?

If, as you say, this is the way gtk works, is there an explanation
somewhere for it?
