Bug reference: 17924

Description:

I recently did a search on pgsql-hackers.

When changing the order of the result set from "Rank" to "Reverse Date" I
observed that "Date" gives the results from newest to oldest while "Reverse
Date" gives them from oldest to newest.

This seems to me a mismatch and quite confusing.

The semantics of Date and Reverse Date should be corrected (exchanged)

Any thoughts?
