    Description

      create table t1 (a int);
      insert into t1 values (1),(3),(2);
      

      Compare

      explain format=json select * from t1 order by a;
      EXPLAIN
      {
        "query_block": {
          "select_id": 1,
          "read_sorted_file": {
            "filesort": {
              "sort_key": "t1.a",
              "table": {
                "table_name": "t1",
                "access_type": "ALL",
                "rows": 3,
                "filtered": 100
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
      

      with

      explain format=json select * from t1 order by a desc;
      EXPLAIN
      {
        "query_block": {
          "select_id": 1,
          "read_sorted_file": {
            "filesort": {
              "sort_key": "t1.a",
              "table": {
                "table_name": "t1",
                "access_type": "ALL",
                "rows": 3,
                "filtered": 100
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
      

      It would be nice to print ASC or DESC somehow. Maybe, only print DESC, because ASC is default so for the sake of brevity it should be omitted.
