When one chooses to sort by sticky, you are presented with the choices "ascending" (default) or "descending." This is really confusing. Much better would be "Sticky on top" and "Sticky on bottom" with default being "Sticky on top."

A second solution, which is inferior but better than what we currently have, would be to make "desending" the default when sort by sticky is chosen.

Here is some evidence that others have found this confusing as well.

As always, thanks for an awesome module! Couldn't do Drupal without it!

Seconded. My mnemonic is that it's really just sorting numerically, where sticky = 1 and unsticky = 0. So sorting descending is usually what you want for stickiness (and thus should be the default).

Sure, as beginner its quite confusing about the stickyness sorting, but this is not just for stickyness.
Its for every boolean value, like status comments(which has 3 possible values) etc.

This would lead to quite a lot of handlers.

Oh:
Perhaps there could be done a parameter for the sort definition which defines the naming of desc and asc
