I went through my earlier scenario and sorted on "Size". The "Size" column
header has the little upward pointing triangle, so this should be an
ascending sort. As I read down the rows, the values are 15KB, 25KB, 50KB,
44KB, 20KB, 66KB, 211KB, 63KB,73KB, 631KB, 30KB and so on. Clearly, not in
ascending sort order.
Hey, I just noticed something. No matter what column you sort on, it always
just sorts by "Name"! For example, if I keep poking the column header "Date
created", it just keeps changing the ascending/descening order of "Name"!
