Description neobrain 2024-07-28 16:27:13 UTC

SUMMARY
When switching to "sort by name" in the Processes view of System Monitor by clicking the corresponding column, processes are sorted from Z-A first. This is counterintuitive and inconsistent with most other applications.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Processes view in System Monitor
2. Click the Size column to sort by something-that's-not-the-name
3. Click the Name column to sort by process name

OBSERVED RESULT
Processes are sorted from Z to A. The user must click the column again to sort from A to Z.

EXPECTED RESULT
Processes should be sorted from A to Z on first click.

table: Fix default sort order when doing initial sort on a column

Apparently I missed something when porting this to upstream controls, we
don't have a model here anymore.
