How is the right, root, left order traversal called in a binary search tree?

Question

In a Binary Search Tree you have the following orders for traversal:

Left, Root, Right is called Inorder (or ascending order).

Root, Left, Right is called Preorder.

Left, Right, Root is called PostOrder.

But how is Right, Root, Left (or descending order) called?

As per wikipedia (Tree Traversal), it is called Out-order traversal

Though, you could also find reference to reverse in-order traversal, which means the same.

$\begingroup$ I would immediately understand what "reverse in-order traversal" meant. I'd have no idea what "out-order traversal" meant and this is the first time I've ever heard it. $\endgroup$ – Derek Elkins left SE Sep 16 '19 at 1:26
