Query expressions describe a value or a computation that can be used as part of
a filter, an annotation, or an aggregation. There are a number of built-in
a filter, order by, annotation, or aggregate. There are a number of built-in
expressions (documented below) that can be used to help you write queries.
Expressions can be combined, or in some cases nested, to form more complex
computations.

.. method:: asc()
Returns the expression ready to be sorted in ascending order.
.. method:: desc()
Returns the expression ready to be sorted in descending order.
.. method:: reverse_ordering()
Returns ``self`` with any modifications required to reverse the sort
order within an ``order_by`` call. As an example, an expression
implementing ``NULLS LAST`` would change its value to be
``NULLS FIRST``. Modifications are only required for expressions that
implement sort order like ``OrderBy``. This method is called when
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.reverse()` is called on a
queryset.
