You seem to have forgotten the bit where people said the
secondary storage format is irrelevant.

Anyway reverse zones are no different to any other zones, and
can contain exactly the same set of characters in a record, so
attempting to apply some arbitary unnatural ordering to string
data would be very messy. Even more so if it is just so people
can read a file that isn't really there for their benefit.
