Attached is a patch for tablesort.inc much cleaner, friendlier and more
consistent way to theme the tablesort icons.
Marking as a bug becuase it is inconsistent with the rest of drupal..


Please review and apply!

Setting status to 'Patch' instead of 'Fixed' so it shows up in the patch
queue

Please move the proposed theme functions to includes/theme.inc (so
Doxygen includes them in the list of theme_ functions).

We should avoid entities like   in the code. This can be achieved
through CSS instead in the theme.

(ack submitted too early)


Also, I wonder about the granularity of  these theme functions. I don't
see the point in putting ascending/descending in a separate function:
they are different styles for the same element (the tablesort
indicator).

Stefan's patch actually removes the entities, not (or is my jet lag
worse than it appears)?

Updated patch which removes the   and moves the theme_tablesort_asc()
and theme_tablesort_desc() to theme.inc.


This is much better imo than the current approach..

Yeah the entity was actually a +1... I should stop doing so much things
at the same time. My other concern is still valid though: theme
functions should theme page /elements/, not versions of that element.
Otherwise we would have theme_node(), theme_node_sticky(),
theme_node_teaser(), ...

I agree with Steven.  We should have a function called
theme_tablesort_header($style) where $style can be either 'ascending'
or 'descending'.
