Solution 1

Write a function for the primality test (did you Google for that?[^]) and call it in a loop from 3577 down-to 3479.

Well, if the descending order is the problem just do it in ascending order, store the results, and print them in reverse when complete (or reverse them and then print).

This isn't complicated: if you can identify any value as prime / not prime (and there are a lot of ways to do that) then the order isn't a problem - you can always reorder results when you have them even if you can't figure out how to calculated them in a different order (which is also pretty simple to do if you think about it).
