What is the default sorting order for gamecenter leaderboard.

I am creating a leader board for my ios game. In itunesconnect, I can see two options

Sort Order: 1.Low to High 2.High to Low.

Its confusing. I want a normal leader-board with hiscore on the top. Right now I selected Low to High, to my horror sandbox returningonly lower scores.

I know, this makes me look like a dumb-ass.

Apple clearly states that. By choosing (?)

Choose "High to Low" if you want highest scores displayed first.
Choose "Low to High" if you want lowest scores displayed first.

I was fooled cause itunesconnect display the option "Low to High" first. I was thinking that, there is some problem with the sandbox account which doesn't update the score. In fact, it was always returning the lowest score. I always submitted the high score wondering ,why it is not updating. (So many people suggested that gc doesn't work properly on a sand box account and I believed)

So select High to Low (although its second option) for a normal option to see a leader-board like this.

Hi score
========
20000 (Top score)
10000
1000
1000

select Low to high a reverse list.

Failed attempts
===============
2 (Top score)
13
40
100

Careful, since you cant change this once your app gone live.(I realized my mistake right now - 5 days after the submission of my app -OMG, I submitted the app blaming sandbox account)
