Use

A sort in descending order makes sense only for fields like the following:

• Traffic light:
  MRP elements with red traffic lights, which means those whose processing has priority, are displayed first (red is the highest value, green the lowest)
• List created:
  MRP elements, for which a list was created, are displayed first (list created is the highest value, list not created the lowest)
• Range of coverage:
  MRP elements with the highest range of coverage, which means those with high stock levels, are displayed first (highest range of coverage is the highest value, lowest range of coverage the lowest)
• Exception group:
  MRP elements with the most exception messages in this group are displayed first (the most exception messages per group is the highest value, the least exception messages the lowest)
