PostgreSQL does not offer ascending/decending indexes, probably because they
are not really needed. Why do you need them? Maybe we can set up a more
powerfull solution based on triggers, views, PLpgSQL, etc...

Maybe you should try pgAdmin2, Windows PostgreSQL GUI
(http://pgadmin.postgresql.org). It has an online PostgreSQL 7.2 guide in
user help. You may import your existing Firebuid application and rewrite it.

Feel free to send us more information about your test DB.
