Generic Sorting Desc

The generic-sorting-desc icon represents descending sort order and decreasing value sorting functionality in data interfaces. Featuring a downward arrow or descending indicator, this icon has become the standard control for descending sorts, decreasing value order, and high-to-low arrangement across data tables and list interfaces.

In modern applications like spreadsheet sorting or data table controls, you'll see this icon triggering descending sort operations and decreasing value arrangements. It appears in table headers when sorting data, or in applications like databases when users need to arrange items from highest to lowest values.

From a data organization perspective, the descending arrow communicates more than just 'sort' - it specifically indicates high-to-low ordering, decreasing value sequence, and the arrangement from largest to smallest. This visual clarity helps users predict sort behavior and data arrangement.

Generic Sorting Desc is one of 329 icons in Flat Color Icons, made by Icons8 and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 48 × 48 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds GenericSortingDescIcon to components/icons/flat-color-icons-generic-sorting-desc.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed GenericSortingDescIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Generic Sorting Desc icon, or any of 329 Flat Color Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 48 × 48 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Generic Sorting Desc", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. GenericSortingDescIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <GenericSortingDescIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Flat Color Icons, Icons8 and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are order, sort, sequence, arrange, down and descending. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Generic Sorting Desc in another set.
