I was wondering how long it would take for someone to suggest that.

So, how do you know which direction it is sorted? And if I change to a different sort, which does it use? And if I am in the middle of the list and change the direction, which page gets displayed?

These are complicating the interface. The complication might not always be visible, but, there are complications in how to use it.

My opinion, and that is all it is, my opinion, is that it isn't needed. Because the lists all wrap, it is easy to get to the other end and see what it there. And what you suggest needs two taps and what I suggest is either a swipe or one tap.
