Anyone else hate the new sort icons in analyzer? When Domo updated their icons last month across the platform, they deployed these new sorting icons in analyzer:

To me, these icons make no sense. First, ascending means larger data as you go down, so the icon having smaller lines as it goes down is opposite, and vice versa with descending. Second, the arrows are opposite to the rest of the Domo platform. The new icons have ascending as a down arrow and descending as an up arrow. Here are other sort icons in Domo:
Ascending in DataSet (it's an up arrow, although now that it is just an outline and not filled, it is very hard to tell, a discussion for another day):

Ascending in Mega Table, Pivot Table, and App Studio Table:

There might be more examples, but these are the ones I could find.

  • I agree. Did a few double-takes and mis-clicks with these new icons

    Please accept the answer if it solved your problem.

  • Yeah, would be ideal if Domo were consistent with the literal meaning of Ascend (to go up) vs. Descend (to go down) and point their arrows in the same direction. i think @Ashleigh brought this up in slack too.
