I don’t wanna be early here, but I am pretty sure the “sort-by” icons are inverted in Bases.

This is new to old (larger to smaller/descending) so the ^ icon should be flipped.

Arrow up is newest to oldest.
Arrow down is oldest to newest.

Usually up arrows mean ascending and down arrows mean descending, so sorting timestamps with a down arrow should result in descending timestamps (i.e., newest to oldest).

For me, the “correct” way it is:

  • > or ∇: means descending order
  • < or △: means ascending order
