Description of the issue:

Currently, the Local Library column headers use two types of icons. Both display stylized text strings, supplemented with a down or up arrow.

The text strings are always displayed from longer (larger) at the beginning to shorter (smaller) at the end. And the arrow is confusing. For more information on the issue of supplementing the sort order symbol with an arrow, see the article "UX Mission: Complex Column Sorting Icons".

I propose replacing these two icons with others that display only the strings (from smaller to larger and vice versa, which would indicate direct and reverse sorting) or even just a triangle with an up and down angle, respectively.

I just double checked to see if I used the right icons, the ones we're using can be seen here: https://react.semantic-ui.com/elements/icon/

If the rows are sorted in descending order, we use the descending arrow, and vice versa.
