# Sort By Name (Descending)

The reverse of [Sort By Name (Ascending)](/set-instructions/sort-by-name-ascending) - sorts the working list alphabetically by element name, Z to A. Uses the applied alias instead of the element name if one has been set via [Set The Alias For The Set](/set-instructions/set-the-alias-for-the-set).

#### Example

```
1. Element: All Departments
2. Expand All
3. Remove Consolidations
4. Sort By Name (Descending)
```

Produces a flat, reverse-alphabetically-ordered list of every department.
