Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-4904:
--------------------------------------

We can add this ReverseOrderSorter, but as far as NumericDocValuesSorter is 
concerned, I would rather have the abstraction at the level of the 
DocComparator rather than the Sorter. This would allow 
{{Sorter.sort(int,DocComparator)}} to quickly return null without allocating 
(potentially lots of) memory for the doc maps if the reader is already sorted. 
Additionally, this would allow for more readable diagnostics (such as 
"DocValues(fieldName,desc)" instead of "Reverse(DocValues(fieldName,asc))".
