it can be usefull to create a reversed Index on table row e.g. date. If you have to search for a specific date a reversed index (date field) is allowing the database engine to use the order year - month - date (B-Tree)

It's IMO needless feature as you can use expression index for that.

The system does not index Date values using the string representation, but using the internal numeric value for the date.

Accordingly, as Pavel indicated, your request is "needless".
