Description
Hi,
fman shows the sort order indicator (triangle upward/downward) aligned to the right hand side of its column.
This causes a usability issue: with a decent window size, the indicator for the "Name" column is right beneath the "Size" label. This way, it looks like the pane is sorted according to the size of the items and not the "Name" column.
My proposed solution (you might find another one as well): place the indicator triangles right beneath the labels: after them (would be my choice) or directly left of them.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating fman's column-header rendering for the sort indicators and inspect how each triangle is aligned. Done means the Name indicator is clearly associated with the Name label rather than appearing beneath Size.
