Title:
  The arrow for Ascending / Descending sort is inverted

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  Ubuntu 10.04

  step to reproduce :

  1: Open Nautilus
  2: switch to List View
  3: click on the Size column to choose a ascending sort.

  Problem : 
  The arrow is pointing up, but the sort is descending, starting with the biggest file to the smallest.

  An ascending sort means "from the tiniest to the largest" and is usually represented by an arrow pointing UP.
  We read a list from top to bottom, according to this, a ascending sorted size column should show the smallest file on the top (fist) and the largest on the bottom (last).
