I agree that it's not obvious. I kind of wish they'd explain how it works in
the help files. I only know about it because someone explained it to me. I
thought I was the dense one though and thought everyone else knew about it.

Well, I see now that it does sort.
It isn't at first obvious but see if you click on the link it will 
then change from descending to ascending.
and you have to click on the links.
  it threw me since other sites I have seen had combo boxed to choose 
how to browse and sort.
Thanks for sharing
