The Descend() index function does not work properly. If the expression is a date or number, it converts. For text expressions it fails to change the sort order.

Comment:

A line of code has been lost in gs6_fctn.pas that prevents the conversion of string data (date and numbers convert properly).

You can add the missing code in gs6_fctn.pas in the TgsUDFDescend.FunctionResult method at line 836 in the current version.:

      end
      else
         if r = rtText then
         begin
            s := BufVar;
            for i := 1 to length(s) do
            begin
               s[i] := chr(-ord(s[i]));
            end;
-->            BufVar := s;  {add this}
         end
         else
