No. I'm restricting my comment to the sudden, unannounced change of
behaviour after twenty years. :)
This from the 1994 AppleScript Finder Guide:
"The Sort command usually sorts in ascending order; for example, if you
sort by name, the resulting references are sorted alphabetically by
name. When you sort by creation date or modification date, the Sort
command returns a list of references sorted in descending order from the
newest item to the oldest."
