For sort(), there is an option descending.

For sort list() not?

Re: sort list ( ... , decending)

Reverse(Sort List()) is one option

Names Default To Here(1);
mylist = {111, 212, 133, 114, 55};
a = Sort List(mylist);
b = Reverse(Sort List(mylist));

show(a, b);
//a = {55, 111, 114, 133, 212};
//b = {212, 133, 114, 111, 55};
