Describe the feature/enhancement

When selecting a sort option, like author name, it should sort by descending order first as opposed to ascending.

Right now, if click on 'sort by author (first, last)' it displays a 'V' arrow as the sort direction, but actually sorts them in reverse alphabetical order. Most people, when sorting, expect it to be in alphabetical order on their first sort, so I think making it the default would be a better option.

It could honestly be a bug, with the way the arrow is pointing in the dropdown, but Im not sure.

I changed the default sort to ascending when clicking on title or author, but I think the arrow directions are correct.

An up arrow represents ascending (A -> Z) or (0 -> 9) and a down arrow represents descending.
