CPU % sort direction (ascending/descending) indicator reversed

Bug Description

When sorting on a column (in processes tab) I get the standard pyramid shape to indicate ascending/descending sorting, with ascending sort being a pyramid and descending being an upside down pyramid (through natural mapping -- the base of the pyramid is larger than its top).

The cpu % column has the two confused. When showing an upside down pyramid the largest values should be at the top (which is how the other columns work, e.g. the ID column). Instead the smallest values are at the top.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

@6th: the request was to report this upstream, however I have just tested it with system monitor 3.28.2 on Fedora, and it works just as it should: with upside down pyramid the highest cpu% is on top, the lowest on the bottom, and with normal pyramid the highest cpu usage is the last.

the issue you describe seems in fact a theme "bug" like bug #1282897?
