+List.js uses button classes of asc and desc to control sorting functionality. It also toggles those classes off and on with click events.
+To not interfere with that, we use my-asc and my-desc to control the arrows, since our desired behavior is different from what list.js does.
+More concretely: to sort asc, the button class needs to contain asc, but we use the arrow ON THE BUTTON to indicate what WILL happen,
+not what IS HAPPENING (the filter header displays the current sort state). In order to have a down arrow, we use a my-desc class.
+Yes, this is confusing. But using two differnt classes allows us to separate functionality and presentation.
