Since the one of the arguments for the decreasing order seems to just be textual representation - do we want to tweak the repr to something like

Polynomial(lambda x: 2*x**3 + 3*x**2 + x + 0)

(And add a constructor that calls the lambda with Polynomial(1))

IIRC there was a proposal for that. There is the possibility of adding renderers for latex and html that could be used by Jupyter, and I think the ordering was an option. 

See https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/8893 for the proposal. BTW, if someone would like to work on this, go for it.
