Thanks Marcin.

I don't think i've been entirely clear. I can easily set the sort
order programmatically, but when the user first clicks on a link to
sort a column it automatically sorts ASC. I'd like to change that
behavior to default first to DESC. I can do it by hacking around with
the cake source, or doing it myself, I just wondered if there was a
way built in, since it'd probably be a pretty common thing to try to
do. If not i'll add it and see if I can work out how to submit a
change request.

Cheers

Tim
