Default sort in reverse order

How do I sort a range, column or rows, in a simple reverse order? 212, 456,
125, 345, becomes 345, 125, 456, 212.

raisin,

A simple way is to put ascending numbers in an extra column: Put 1 in the
first, then fill down with the Fill Handle holding Ctrl. Now do a sort of
the whole thing, descending, on that column. Be careful that all of your
columns get sorted.
