for /o switch bug in version 36

[Jesse Heines]

The /o:-a switch in version 36.00.33 x64 does not seem to sort files in reverse order. It works fine in version 35.00.21, but seems to have somehow been broken in version 36. Note that the two for statements in the following examples return the list in exactly the same ascending alphabetical order even though the second one uses /o:-a. In version 35.00.21, the second example returns the list in reverse (descending) alphabetical order.

Yup, same here too.

If you need IMMEDIATE workaround, take

for /O:ar %x in (*.csv) ( echo %x )

r = Reverse the sort order for all options
