If you want my opinion on the color of this shed, I'd prefer for the
color to be circular.

More seriously, I hate those arrows exactly because I never know what
they mean.  I think it's just like the "split window
vertically/horizontally" issue: it's a bad UI and the right solution is
to choose neither of those options.

I'm afraid that while I figured out the problem, I don't have any solution
to offer :-(

Maybe we should just not display the direction of the ordering at all:
just put a bullet or something to indicate which column is sorted and
let the user look at the data if she wants to know how this column
is sorted.
