Sort already is "right in front" of the user. They merely have to click the column headers. These column headers used to (before the breeze theme, i think the air theme had it) show arrows indicating if something was sorted in ascending or descending. I don't know why that's gone but that was the universal way to immediately know which column was sorted and in which order. No need to add a button for that. If the view needs to stay as clean as it is now then you could only show the arrows in the headers when you hover the header (or view) or when it has focus and let them disappear when it loses focus.
