Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Nautilus 2.12.1 on ubuntu - Breezy Badger

List view sorted by Date Accessed is not chronologically sorted but is
alphanumerically sorted.

Regardless of whether sort-order is Ascending or Descending.

Sorting by Date Modified is (correctly) chronologically sorted.

The sort-by column is selected via the column header and sort-order is
toggled via the same.

Easily illustrated by: 
1. browsing to directory /var/cache/apt/archive 
2. selecting "View as List" (CTRL+2)
3. clicking on "Date Accessed" column header to toggle sort order on that column
