(Sorry to start a second thread but it's separate from the language issue.) Is it just me that thinks the controls on the lists work upside down?

I find I want to use the arrows to move the box through the list, not move the list through the box.

I am not a UX guy by any stretch of the imagination, so this is just an observation rather than a judgement.

I think it's just like when you try to play a games console game and the Y-axis is inverted. Some people think it's normal, some people hate it.

I love this idea, but I was thinking the same thing about the arrows. They feel backwards to me.
