Subject: Re: A Quick Question About Sorting Finder List View in Either 
Ascending or Descending Order in El Capitan

Hello Mark,

In List view, you need to interact with the table then place yourself in the 
column you wish to sort. The command is then VO-Shift-\ to go into headers, 
then VO-Space to do the sort, and VO-Shift-\ to get out of headers.
The first time you press VO-Space while in headers will sort in one direction, 
and another VO-Space will sort in the other direction.

Cheers,

Anne
