descending( )

Adds a sort to a query or sort, sorting by the specified fields in descending order.

The descending() method refines this query to sort in descending order of the specified fields. If you specify more than one field, descending() sorts the results in descending order by each field in the order they are listed.

You can sort the following types:

Number: Sorts numerically.

• Date: Sorts by date and time.
• String: Sorts lexicographically, so "abc" comes before "XYZ".
• Reference: Compares by the ID of the referenced item as a String.

If a field contains a number as a String, that value is sorted alphabetically and not numerically. Items that do not have a value for the specified sort field are ranked lowest.
