DESCENDING NODUP combination in SORTLIST fails to work properly


The SORTLIST function fails to sort properly and to remove duplicates ifboth the DESCENDING and NODUP options are specified.

To circumvent the problem, call the SORTLIST function twice, once to remove the duplicates and another to sort the values in descending order.
