It could be a known issue, but thought it's a well known & well used feature 
so, asking you all.

I am trying to create an index with the following command -

create index an_idx on atable
        (acol desc, bcol, ccol)
/

Then when I do a -

show index from atable

It shows for all indexed columns the 'Collation' is 'A'. And also when we do a 
query without any ORDER BY, the result is not sorted in descending order on 
acol. For example a query like

select pk, acol, bcol, ccol from atable

doesn't show the result in descending order of acol, instead it's in ascending 
order of acol.

Is there a simple trick I am missing ?

I am using MySQL version 5.0.3.

Thanks in advance.
