Ok, I have added a reverse sort feature to scidt (and other minor changes).
(use -R instead of -S).

But the issue is, reverse sort is a hack, and not available on invidual
criterias
as one might expect. The maintenance/sort feature needs a bit of coding to
do
reverse sort properly. If you/someone would like to code this for index.cpp
and the Sort GUI, chances are probably very good it'll get inlined.
Cheers, Steven
