please add reverse sort order

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hy!

It would be great if I can sort the torrents in reverse order especially for 
"order by age".

Thanks!

You can reverse the sorting by clicking on the same sort type again. Note that 
not all clients support all sort types (such as the age/date done).

Thanks for the info!

But I still think that this is a bug! Because this wokrs with column headers, I 
don't think this is an intuitive, acceptable behavior of radio buttons to click 
twice for any action... It may be better to add a checkbox to the bottom of the 
sort menu, or somehow clearify the current method to users.

You are right that I misuse the radiobox for something it is not designed for. 
Maybe I should just remove those and let them be buttons (like column headers 
work indeed). The header of the dialog box does tell you how it works though. 
I'll try to brush up this dialog a bit. Thanks for your input.

Yeah, you right, I was to lazy to read, and I don't even noticed that laziness 
:D
User's behavior... Strange to notice this on myself :)

But I think you shoul'd not remove the radio button's because they give the 
user information about witch column controls the sort, but instead you may 
change the selected one to a little arrow (i don't know it it's even possible 
without making a custom widget) or easyer, you can put an arrow besides the 
radio on the selected item. This will make the lazy users notice that these are 
virtual column headers, and can be clicked twice to change the order :) (like 
the little arrow on the real column header)
