UI Navigation Arrows

In the report building UI on the right navigation panel, the arrows for folders are non-intuitive (directed up and down) whereas the navigation arrows in the data model view make more sense (directed right and down). Can someone please fix this?

  • The Expand/Collapse arrow icons for Grouping should also be changed. They work the opposite way than in PowerPoint and Excel, and are the wrong conceptual model.
  • Make it just like in the model / diagram view. Arrows for the fields hierachy are intuitive there.

    This iconography is very counter-intuitive - The arrow behavior is practically opposite to Windows Explorer. How can a down arrow signify collapsed ? It should be pointing right like every other UI on the planet. Please be consistent! I have been a Microsoft developer for 20 years and all of a sudden I don't know which way is up or down LOL
