I can see a user imagining that the "Zed to Eh" included in the  
option means that it only works for names or titles.  Could you  
customize the sort order labels based on the type of sort in effect?   
That way you could say "Z-A" sometimes, and "Newest to Oldest" other  
times.

And I always have to think about what a "descending" date sort is,  
and translate it into new timestamps are "bigger" than old  
timestamps, so being explicit would help me too!
