The up/down sort direction arrow appears to be the wrong way round. I think up should mean ascending (a-z, 0-9, 1970-2026, etc.) but it’s the opposite, so up arrow means descending sort and down arrow means ascending.
I tried search for this with “sort”, “ascending” and did not find matching issues.
If this UI choice is intentional, please can an option toggle be added to swap the arrow icon/glyph?

Reproduction steps:
In Album list view choose to sort by Title ^ (up/ascending).
While I agree with the direction being what it is currently, I just want to point out that the Windows File Explorer puts its arrows in the opposite direction (like how OP requested). So I don’t think it’s unusual for someone to default to the opposite of how Symfonium uses the arrows. It confused me for a minute too, honestly, until I actually thought about what the arrow should represent.
Pic for reference (not mine), note the arrow in the “Name” column:
Yes, I suspect some people do like the current arrow direction so that up means descending sort and down means ascending sort. I also concede that the arrow direction might represent the future direction when clicked/tapped rather than the current direction.
Whatever the case may be, I think it is similar to a mouse scroll wheel direction or trackpad vertical swipe/drag and which way that makes the page move, or moving a joystick or analog stick on a gamepad and which way the camera or vehicle pitches. So it’s an axis inversion type of input configuration option choice that is quite commonplace.
I think adding a sort direction arrow toggle and swapping the resulting glyphs/icons in the UI, leaving the sort logic alone, is something that is a small change, reasonably simple and realistically achievable.
