Calendar ascending (1 to 31) and descending (31 to 1) #3697
Description
Icon name
calendar-down-1-31, calendar-down-31-1, calendar-up-1-31, calendar-up-31-1
Use cases
I love that Lucide includes icons that can be used to represent sorting by changing the direction of the subject not the arrow, e.g: sorting a table from A to Z (ascending) or Z to A (descending) without changing the arrow direction (down):
I find this a much more intuitive way to represent sorting with icons. Implementations of this pattern exist for number (arrow-down-0-1 arrow-down-1-0) letters (arrow-down-a-z arrow-down-a-z) and length (arrow-down-narrow-wide arrow-down-wide-narrow) but not for the calendar arrow icon.
My use case is a table that includes the option to sort by date, and I would like to add an icon for that date sorting which follows the same pattern I am using for the number, letter and length columns. Right now, I'm using calendar-arrow-down and calendar-arrow-up which is inconsistent with the other icons.
Design ideas
I figured to be consistent with the other icons, the ascending would be represented by 1 and the descending would be represented by 31 (I think most people would recognise 31 as "last day of the month" -- I googled around and "last day of the month icon" gives lots of icons containing 31).
I think just adding the number in the middle would be perfect, here are some very bad mockups made using numbers copied from other icons:
