In theory, it is as useful as sorting recipes from Z to A. The question is
that all sortable headings should behave similarly. If all of them have
reverse sorting enabled, Order should have it as well. Either we disable
reverse sorting for all columns, or we provide it for all of columns.

Since it is something that seems technically straightforward, we should
probably provide it for all columns. Toaster has a lot of data: the more
tools we can provide for data manipulation, the better. Users can then
choose between them the ones they find useful, and each user might be
different in that regard. If I have an interest in the later stages of a
build, I might find that sorting tasks by reverse execution order is an
easy way to quickly get to what I need to see.
