Where is the text for descending retrievability? Why is it missing isn’t that the most important review sort order for backlogs? Or did I misunderstand something.

Yes, it’s missing, and yes, the docs need to be updated. But since that is (quite predictably) the reverse sort of _Ascending_ Retrievability, it’s unlikely to confuse anyone.
