Description

It is not very obvious and a bit irritating how changing sort order works, you have to tap sorting button sometimes twice if e.g. you want to change sorting criteria (name, type, size etc) and also to change order from ascending to descending. Since first it is always ascending and then you open the sort menu and out of sudden, the arrow shows into different direction there:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the sorting flow described in the issue in the iOS app, comparing changing the sorting criterion with changing ascending or descending order. Identify the sort button and menu entry points, then make the interaction and arrow direction consistent so users can change both choices predictably; verify the behavior manually with the available criteria.
