Meg and Neo,
I think Meg gets most of the credit for the (100-age) idea. That goes along with what I was hinting at. However, it's still not 100%. What if we were sorting some field other than age, and it was alphanumeric instead of numeric? Then the (100-x) would not work. So what else could we do with the keys to still do only one ascending sort pass?
