[–] JRambo 14y ago ↗ Thank you for participating.This little test shows that the best direction for sorting multi-column list items is vertical.90% of respondents clicked on the vertical second item in this 2 column list, 10% clicked on the horizontal second item.This result is in line with the telephone book argument and common sense approach of human eye movement (top to bottom).http://www.twitter.com/michelkusters
