Thank you for participating.

This little test shows that the best direction for sorting multi-column list items is vertical.

90% of respondents clicked on the vertical second item in this 2 column list, 10% clicked on the horizontal second item.

This result is in line with the telephone book argument and common sense approach of human eye movement (top to bottom).
