How to get sorted set in descending order with node redis

You,•redis

You've got a structure like this:

redisClient.zAdd('leaderboard', {score: 0, value: "charlie"}
redisClient.zAdd('leaderboard', {score: 1, value: "beth"}
redisClient.zAdd('leaderboard', {score: 2, value: "adam"}

Sadly the below only retrieves the values in ASCENDING order

redisClient.zRange('leaderboard', 0, 2);

This will give us:

1) "charlie"
2) "beth"
3) "adam"

We have to pass the REV flag in the options

redisClient.zRange('leaderboard', 0, 2, {
      REV: true,
    });
  }

If you ctrl+space in the object you get so many options it's hard to find it.

It took me a solid 10 min to find this. Hope this helps someone!
