Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
cumcount misses `ascending` parameter present in pandas breaking any code exported from pandas.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Add `ascending=[True/False]` parameter to cumcount to match pandas syntax.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
An alternative for `ascending=False` would be to pick the max of the group and subtract from cumcount like:
df['cumcount'] = df.groupby('group')['var'].transform('max') - df.groupby('group')['var'].cumcount()
