sort-object: Sort the current directory by name descending.
$ Get-ChildItem | Sort-Object -Descending

This command is a PowerShell command that retrieves a list of child items in the current directory using the Get-ChildItem cmdlet. The | symbol is the pipe operator in PowerShell, which allows the output from the first command to be passed as input to the next command.

After retrieving the child items, the command further pipes the output to the Sort-Object cmdlet with the -Descending parameter. This cmdlet sorts the items in descending order based on their default properties.

In summary, the command retrieves a list of child items in the current directory and then sorts them in descending order.
