Pager design wording

[Harriet Truscott]

Hi all,

We have gone with the Fluid pager design for our MySakai widgets. 

However, one of the University's usability specialists says about a widget
that lists recent activity on your sites 

> Is the logic of the "previous" and "next" buttons on the 
> 'recent activity' pane the wrong way around?
> 
> Given that this list should show most recent first, the "next"
> willl be earlier in time - which is also "previous"! It might 
> be better to say "earlier" and "later" to name those buttons 
> less ambiguously

I like 'earlier' - I think perhaps that 'more recent' might be better than
'later', alhtough 

What do people think to this, and would you contemplate making an official
Fluid suggestion for this context?
