If it is for a report, I would just create a cursor, and then print the report:
select * from client;
order by name descending, zipcode ascending;
into cursor TempResult
report form ...
Otherwise, if you really insist on indexing on character descending, that can be quite tricky. I suppose you could create a UDF that replaces each character with 255 - character (using the numeric character values, of course).
