Enum Sort 

pub enum Sort {
    Ascending,
    Descending,
}

Which way a column is ordered.

Two, because there is no third. “Unsorted” is Column::sorted being None, and folding it in here would be the same absence said twice.

Variants

Ascending

Smallest, earliest or first alphabetically at the top.

Descending

The other way.

Implementations

impl Sort

pub const fn reversed(self) -> Self

The other direction, for a header that flips when pressed.

pub const fn as_str(self) -> &'static str

What a webview writes into aria-sort.

Named here rather than in the webview renderer because a terminal and an immediate-mode painter both want the same two words for a caret’s label, and three renderers picking their own is the drift this crate ends.

pub const fn glyph(self) -> &'static str

The caret a renderer draws for this direction.

Here for as_str’s reason, said about a glyph rather than a word: three renderers picking their own is the drift this crate ends. They had picked their own — two on the solid triangles and makeover-webview on the arrows U+2191/U+2193 — and agreeing by coincidence in three files is not agreement.

Settled 2026-08-16 (Max): the solid triangles, U+25B2 and U+25BC. The reason generalizes past this pair and is the house rule now — prefer the bolder, simpler glyph over the thinner or more complicated one. A third spelling is not open for re-argument.

Bare, with no spacing. Where the gap goes is each renderer’s business: makeover-tui and makeover-immediate carry a leading space inside their TableStyle string and a webview emits its own in content, so folding a space in here would make one of the two wrong.

Neither face the web apps self-host carries these — IBM Plex Mono has one glyph in the whole geometric-shapes block and Lato has none — so a browser falls back per glyph until the in-house face ships with them drawn in (makeover 6d6d9146, wiki typography-standard). Cosmetic drift in one renderer, not a reason to spell it three ways.
