More info on this problem. I created a test folder, then experimented with various list view properties.
Notice the comments in this script ...

property testFolder : alias "Work_Files:untitled folder"
tell application "Finder"
activate
set winRef to window of testFolder
-- the window of the test folder is open and in list view
set sort column of list view options of winRef to name column -- OK
set sort direction of sort column of list view options of winRef to normal -- ineffective
set width of column name column of list view options of winRef to 1000 -- ineffective
sort direction of sort column of list view options of winRef -- always reversed = «constant ****srvs»
end tell

It seems that the display of list view windows in my installation of Snow Leopard is badly broken. All newly created list view windows open with a narrow name column in reversed order and changes are not saved. (But folders created by the previous system installation are OK.)

Is this an AppleScript problem or a system problem?
And does anyone have any idea about its cause?
