Confirmed.

There are actually two ways of interpreting the triangle:
1. The peak (thin part) describes the small values, the base (wide part)
describes the large values.
2. The peak points to the larger values

Alternative 1 is currently implemented by windows.
Alternative 2 by TortoiseSVN.
KDE and Gnome (just to name something else) actually implement alternative
2.

I prefer alternative 1, but I guess my opinion doesn't count :-)

So, what is actually wrong? Are there any commonly accepted GUI standards
describing this sorting triangle?
