I was playing with the thread sorting and found it a bit confusing. I'll take the example of the VIEWS column
Sorting by views sorts it ASC, which is quite all right. To get it DESC, I have to click on the little icon. Now comes the issues I see:
1) The link is always ASC, no matter what. The icon link however always gets the other mode.
2) For ASC, the icon should be perhaps reversed (ie pointing to the top). This should help people see what mode they are in faster.
The latter is less vital, but the first could cause people to try to click on the link a few times to get to to sort DESC, causing mysql overload.
Btw: is the sorting going to be an optional thing? Some people mgiht not want it to be shown.
