Bug Report Description

When accessing the Decky Store, the order of the plugins seems to be the opposite of what is selected in "Sort" option. For example with

• Alphabetical (A to Z) the first plugin I see is vibrantDeck followed by steamdeck-input-disabler
• Alphabetical (Z to A) the first plugin I see is "Animation Changer"
• Least Downloaded First starts with SteamGridDB
• Most Downloaded First starts with "XIVOmega" which is a plugin for a specific game, followed by "Decky Zerotier" which I've not seen before so I assume it's a relative new plugin and thus would have anong the lowest amount of downloads

Expected Behaviour

Exactly the opposite. "Animation Changer" should be first in "A to Z" and I assume SteamGridDB is the most downloaded plugin, not the least downloaded one.

SteamOS version

3.6.24

const dropdownSortOptions = useMemo(
    (): DropdownOption[] => [
      // ascending and descending order are the wrong way around for the alphabetical sort
      // this is because it was initially done incorrectly for i18n and 'fixing' it would
      // make all the translations incorrect
      { data: [SortOptions.name, SortDirections.ascending], label: t('Store.store_tabs.alph_desc') },
      { data: [SortOptions.name, SortDirections.descending], label: t('Store.store_tabs.alph_asce') },
      { data: [SortOptions.date, SortDirections.ascending], label: t('Store.store_tabs.date_asce') },
      { data: [SortOptions.date, SortDirections.descending], label: t('Store.store_tabs.date_desc') },
      { data: [SortOptions.downloads, SortDirections.descending], label: t('Store.store_tabs.downloads_desc') },
      { data: [SortOptions.downloads, SortDirections.ascending], label: t('Store.store_tabs.downloads_asce') },
    ],
    [],
  );

imho this part is fishy

As the comment says, the name sorting labels are the other way around because that's how they are in the localization files, e.g. https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/blob/e646168e31fe01df4ec3c369db60ceac3527a0ed/backend/decky_loader/locales/en-US.json#L253-L262 Problem is that all of the options seem to have the opposite effect of what is expected so issue is most likely in the sorting.

Oh, So problem here is nothing to do with frontend. https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/blob/e646168e31fe01df4ec3c369db60ceac3527a0ed/backend/decky_loader/utilities.py#L356-L375

I'm not familliar to python backend, but python's sort() reverse parameter seems descending while true

Both list.sort() and sorted() accept a reverse parameter with a boolean value. This is used to flag descending sorts.

https://docs.python.org/3.13/howto/sorting.html#ascending-and-descending

so

rev = False if ord_arg[1] == "asc" else True or case 'name': files.sort(key=lambda x: x['file'].name.casefold(), reverse = not rev) folders.sort(key=lambda x: x['file'].name.casefold(), reverse = not rev)

seems right i guess...

EDIT: this is filepicker_ls function so nvm

https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/plugins?sort_by=name&sort_direction=asc (should be A -> Z) (response with Z->A)

https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/plugins?sort_by=name&sort_direction=desc (should be Z -> A) (response with A->Z)

So this issue is on API server that I couldn't reach out which needs help from maintainers
