James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-4843:
---------------------------------------
It often won't work to attempt to do a toString on the inverted bytes. For
example, an inverted string will have non printable characters and a DECIMAL
would break. What's the reason you need the toString to maintain the
DESC/inverted bytes? If it's for roundtrip-ability, you might consider some
kind of notation instead like ~(A,B,C) to mean the A, B, C are descending. I
think it's typically all the values are ASC or DESC.
> InListExpression toString() converts the values in the list to ASC sort order
> always
