complexity: O(log(N)+M) with N being the number of elements in the sorted set and
  M the number of elements being returned. If M is constant (e.g. always asking for
  the first 10 elements with LIMIT), you can consider it O(log(N)).

---
When all the elements in a sorted set are inserted with the same score, in order to force lexicographical ordering, this command returns all the elements in the sorted set at `key` with a value between `max` and `min`.

Apart from the reversed ordering, `ZREVRANGEBYLEX` is similar to [`ZRANGEBYLEX`]({{< relref "/commands/zrangebylex" >}}).

## Examples

{{% redis-cli %}}
ZADD myzset 0 a 0 b 0 c 0 d 0 e 0 f 0 g
ZREVRANGEBYLEX myzset [c -
ZREVRANGEBYLEX myzset (c -
ZREVRANGEBYLEX myzset (g [aaa
