# CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_DIRECTION

New in version 3.7.

The sorting direction used by `CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_ORDER`. It can assume one of the following values:

`DEC`

  Default. Ordering is done in descending mode. The highest folder found will be tested first.

`ASC`

  Ordering is done in ascending mode. The lowest folder found will be tested first.

If `CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_ORDER` is not set or is set to `NONE` this variable has no effect.
