FR: Ability to change the sort_dir for number based collections

[rrelmy]

Due to customers with special needs it would be nice to be able to change the sort direction of number based collections like the date based.

It is not documented but on date based collections you can specify the direction with the option sort_dir inside the collections folder.yaml but the direction for number based collections is hardcoded.

Here is a simple achieve that.
Update: This patch breaks reordering!
