If the buttons being discussed are indeed the column headers, that's
some nasty menu navigation to work with. The column headers allow both
selection of a sort column and a direction. The way Nautilus does it,
that's: open the menu with "Arrange Items >", open the sub-menu,
select the sort criterion, re-open the menu, re-open the sub-menu,
toggle the order. With column headers, it's two clicks.
