Descending desc

Sorts elements in descending order.

 (desc [3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6])
[9 6 5 4 3 2 1 1]
 (desc ["banana" "apple" "cherry"])
[cherry banana apple]

Info

  • Works with numbers, strings, and other comparable types
  • Returns a new sorted array/list
  • Maintains the original data type (array → array, list → list)

Tip

Use desc for simple descending sorts of single collections
