I agree with the post on stackoverflow. It's strange the first time, but we
should see the "arrow" not like an arrow, but like small and large values.
Maybe, it would be even clearer to use this kind of icon:

Hugues.

The way I see it, this patch should be done by today evening or tommorow
evening at max so I guess I will add those icons and show you sir. But I
guess we are better of choosing a lighter color icons than those and also
they are too Bulky for our narrow table headers maybe.

http://tablesorter.com/docs/ Look at this. May be if we could take the
existing arrows and make them darker they will look better don't you think
?

To get a broader opinion on this matter I posted a question in the
stackoverflow, user experience forum
