Description

It would be nice to add a native syntax for the use of ReversedType. I'm sure there is anything in SQL that we inspired ourselves from, so I would propose something like:

CREATE TABLE timeseries (
  key text,
  time uuid,
  value text,
  PRIMARY KEY (key, time DESC)
)

Alternatively, the DESC could also be put after the column name definition but one argument for putting it in the PK instead is that this only apply to keys.
