Preset Assigned to filter sorting incorrectly

In the browse project view, you can see progress bars showing how many issues are assigned to each individual. Clicking on the link for each person launches a filter of (open) issues for that person sorted by priority. Makes sense. Except why would one sort by priority if you're not going to put the highest priority issues at the top of the list? I admit it's hard to interpret whether Priority Ascending means highest priority at the top or lowest, but I think you'd agree this was not your intent.
Is this an unintended side effect of JRA-6577?
Any chance of fixing this for 3.3.1 (pretty please?)
