Of course we can tell, we're omnipotent... (the X-Mailer header helps as
well :-).

It is possible, but from what I remember when last attempted it, it seemed
like more trouble than it was worth.  However there may be another method of
accomplishing it, I'll have to take a look.

You should be able to reverse the sort order by clicking on the sorting
field again.  Perhaps we should have some sort of indicator of:

a) what is the current sorting field and

b) what is the sorting direction (ascending/descending)

Pan has a method using "+" and "-" appended to the column label, but it
doesn't work to good IMHO.  

Yet another thing for the TODO list.
