| Description |
designates a sort key, in descending order. It must be is followed by an "attr.name".
In D3, "by-dsnd" may be used with any verb that lists or selects items, such as "list" or "select". R83 did not allow "by-dsnd" to be used with "non-sorting" verbs, and was simply ignored.

| Warnings |
On D3 systems, if "by-dsnd" is provided with a verb that does not "naturally" sort (such as the "list" verb), the verb is changed to its "sorting" counterpart. (e.g. "list" becomes "sort", "select" becomes "sselect", etc.) This does NOT work, however, on releases prior to AP.
