Check out this collage of just a few different applications (both native and web) that show that an arrow pointing up means sort in ascending order, and an arrow pointing down means sort in a descending order.
No matter which direction, it remains guesswork if A–Z maps to newer–older and to smaller–larger or if any pair has to be switched around.
I will attach a mockup (that is old as the theme looks) with a possible solution for A–Z and smaller–larger. Also at:
http://xtupload.com/image.php?id=C440_53071F51Back then I couldn't think of a clear solution for newer–older. A more recent date could be seen to be a *larger* value, or bars could represent the timespan from now back to the date.
Green could stand for newer and brown for older, but that might be seen as a rather loud solution.
