The problem conceptually is that `view-sort-ascending` is semantically inaccurate for anything but ascending order. We don't actually have an icon yet that means "general sort options are here!" That's covered by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393318, and I've pinged Andreas again. No matter what flawed we choose as a placeholder, I'm going to wait for the better icon before landing this, so for now let's just leave it the way it is.

Oops, somehow `arc` merged this patch with D12333 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D12333> when I downloaded it. Not sure how I managed to do that. Cleaned up now.

Same, sorry.

Found an even simpler way. :)
