'How to force set in c++ to store values in descending order?

I have been stuck on an algorithm that requires unique values sorted in descending order. Since the need is unique, I thought set is the best data structure to be used here, but I guess set by default stores the value in non-decreasing order, how do I make it store in non-increasing order?

Other than the fact that I can let it store in ascending order and then reverse the set, is there any other modification that I can do?

The order of the set can be changed by changing/defining operator < for the objects stored in your set.
