24174	Extra order by ignores descending orderings	Bertrand Bordage	Josh Smeaton	"Consider this simple model:

{{{
class Test(Model):
    name = CharField(max_length=50)
    class Meta(object):
        db_table = 'test'
}}}

{{{Test.objects.extra(order_by=['-name'])}}} should be converted to something like {{{SELECT * FROM test ORDER BY name DESC}}}, but instead it becomes {{{SELECT * FROM test ORDER BY name ASC}}}. The minus is ignored.

It wasn’t happening in Django 1.6 and 1.7.
