features:
  - |
    The ``cliff.lister.Lister`` base class now implements ``--sort-ascending``
    and ``--sort-descending`` options, which can be used to configure the sort
    direction. For example::

      $ hello-world list-users --sort-column email --sort-descending
      +----------------+-----------------------------+
      | Name           | Email                       |
      +----------------+-----------------------------+
      | Charles Xavier | therealcharliex@example.com |
      | Jim Hendrix    | jim@example.com             |
      | John Doe       | doe.john@example.com        |
      | Alice Baker    | abaker@example.com          |
      +----------------+-----------------------------+
upgrade:
  - |
    ``cliff.lister.Lister`` implementations that override the
    ``need_sort_by_cliff`` property should now consider the
    ``--sort-ascending`` and ``--sort-descending`` options.
