Confusing Sort Icons

[meops]

The sort icons sort-asc and sort-desc look great, but I find them bit confusing:

sort-desc show a list of lines ordered by width orientated with the widest at the top and and an arrow pointing downwards. This makes sense.

sort-asc shows a list of lines ordered with the narrowest at the top but with an arrow pointing upwards. Not so intuitive in my opinion.

Seems to me it would make more sense if only one of either the arrow direction or the lines orientation differed between the two icons. If the lines are meant to represent the relative size of sorted values and the arrow represents the sort direction then switching both represents the same result.

Is it just me?

Would there be any possibility to add perhaps sort-asc-alt which was consistent with the representation I describe?
