[Usability] HIG: Fixing the sort arrow direction guideline

[Braden McDaniel <braden endoframe com>]

GNOME's guideline for the sort direction indicator arrow is opposite the
prevailing convention on other popular platforms (Windows and Mac) and
many prominent Web sites (e.g., Yahoo! Mail, Google Docs).  Furthermore,
the current recommendation in the HIG uses some vague language that's
too open to interpretation (specifically, a poorly defined notion of a
"natural order").

Fixing this is long overdue; it would be very nice if it could finally
happen for GNOME 3.0.  If the will to do this is present, I'll be glad
to propose new language for the HIG.

The language in question is here:

I filed a bug on this some time ago:
