The following code orders a linked list in ascending order:

Code: 
while (currentPtr != NULL && value > currentPtr->data) {
      previousPtr = currentPtr;  
      currentPtr = currentPtr->nextPtr;
}

How might I alter this to sort descending?

To answer my own question, just change the greater than symbol to a lesser than symbol.
