Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

"--playlist-reverse" does not seem to work.

This might be due to the following (options.py, line 427) where there is no 'dest' specified.

downloader.add_option(
    '--playlist-reverse',
    action='store_true',
    help='Download playlist videos in reverse order')

[dstftw]

By default dest is derived from option string i.e. --playlist-reverse and it works perfectly.
