'View mode' sort order option English vs. German

Post by *Lefteous »

In English it's called 'Reversed' in German it's called 'Absteigend' (descending) which is not quite the same.

I think 'Absteigend' (descending) is the better choice as reversing the sort order requires the user to know about the default sort order (or is the previous sort order reversed?). I guess a lot of irritation can be avoided.

It could be even a dropdown (default order, ascending, descending) but ascending and descending would also be perfectly fine.

You are right, descending is better. Thanks!
