Explicitly specifying an ascending order

One feature I missed when writing about orderings is the ability to explicitly use the word ascending for a particular ordering. For example,
from person in people
order by person.Name
select person
is exactly equivalent to
from person in people
order by person.Name ascending
select person
The reason I missed this? I've never seen it used, that I recall. (Yes, I should still have spotted it when going through the spec, of course...)
