Reverse sort in date table

I have created a date table using the code below.  Accounting_Posting_Date = ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR (DATE(2015,1,1), DATE(2030,12,31)), "DateAsInteger", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYYMMDD" ), "...

    I've managed to solve it by adding the column directly when creating the table and then referring to it when sorting the other columns

    Accounting_Posting_Date =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
    CALENDAR (DATE(2015,1,1), DATE(2030,12,31)),
    "DateAsInteger", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYYMMDD" ),
    "Period", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYYMM" ),
    "Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
    "Monthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM" ),
    "YearMonthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/MM" ),
    "YearMonthShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/mmm" ),
    "MonthNameShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm" ),
    "MonthNameLong", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
    "DayOfWeekNumber", WEEKDAY ( [Date] ),
    "DayOfWeek", FORMAT ( [Date], "dddd" ),
    "DayOfWeekShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "ddd" ),
    "Quarter", "Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),
    "YearQuarter", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY" ) & "/Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),
    "Period_rank", -value(FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYYMM" ))
    )
