NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitReverseSortBlock

DESCRIPTION

Conway says that it is much clearer to use "reverse" than to flip $a and $b around in a "sort" block. He also suggests that, in newer perls, "reverse" is specifically looked for and optimized, and in the case of a simple reversed string "sort", using "reverse" with a "sort" with no block is faster even in old perls. 
   my @foo = sort { $b cmp $a } @bar;         #not ok
   my @foo = reverse sort @bar;               #ok
 
   my @foo = sort { $b <=> $a } @bar;         #not ok
   my @foo = reverse sort { $a <=> $b } @bar; #ok
