Can I reverse the order of finder lists or icons?

Hello,
I am finding some problems with Lion that I never seemed to have with Snow Leopard and would very much appreciate someone's help.
To cut a long story short I want to reverse the order of the files in finder, either in list or icon view (or maybe any kind of view). At the moment they are in date created order, but I have also tried in name order and cannot see any way to reverse the order.
At present the are show the newest file first but I want to see them in oldest first as they always were for me in OSX 10.6
Also... in date created view they appear in groups (eg previous 7 days, previous 30 days) I have never seen this before and find it particulalry annoying. I'm sure some people love it but for me it is one of the things that I most hated about windows, but at least in Windows I found it easy to turn off (along with reversing order!). Can anyone tell me how to stop OSX from doing this?
Much obliged,
Pablo

In Finder icon view, click the Arrange button and select which column you'd like to sort by.
In Finder list view, click the top header of any column to sort by that column. Clicking the same header again reverses the sort order (and the small 'arrow' at the end of the column name reverses direction too).
And using Finder, View, Customize Toolbar the Finder window toolbar can be customized to display icons only, text only or both, as well as adding additional icons to the default toolbar:

How can I reverse the order of podcasts so I can listen in cronological order

How can I reverse the order of podcasts so I can listen in cronological order!

What I did was create a playlist for the podcasts and keep it sorted in reverse date order, which puts the oldest first. To prevent it from automatically playing the next podcast, I actually mark all podcasts as "skip when shuffling", and then play in shuffle mode. I also make sure all my podcasts have a genre of "podcast"; I discovered that if you use media type, the playlist doesn't update correctly on the iPod classic
So, what I've got is a playlist of the form: (play count = 0) and (genre = podcast), sorted in reverse date order.

How to reverse the order of a list (nodes)

i can't figure out how to reverse the order of the values in a list of nodes. Could anyone help?
public class IntList
     public IntNode head;
     public IntList()
          head = null;
     public void reverse()
          // I don't know how to write this
}

read through the list from the end to the start, putting each element into a new list. then replace the original list with the new one.
lots of ways it can be done.
dont ask me which is more efficient. the stack suggestion sounds pretty good.

Reverse the order of stacks list view

Is there a way to reverse the order when viewing the contents of a stack in list view by date added?
For example, the downloads stack: the default setting puts the most recently added at the top of the list, meaning I have to scroll up to it, rather than at the bottom, where it'd be right there above the icon to click on.
Thanks for the help

I completely agree with Solar Servant,
The regular stacks view is viewable in this (very practical) direction, so why not the list variety?
thanks for making a more usable OSX a reality

How do I reverse the order of file lists in finder?

When I display a finder page with icons the sort is ascending (A-Z), but when I use the list function it is decending (Z-A). How do I reverse the list order?

How can I reverse the order of songs in library?

Whenever I import my albums into iTunes, they are always automatically arranged in reverse order. The only way i've found to change it is to right click on each track and go into Get Info>Info>Track numberof and basically change every track manually. How annoying. There must be an easier way?

Maybe if I show you Pictures you will understand better. I thought you was talking about a playlist, I see what your talking about now. Put the CD in (Im using an old album CD for this) and you should see something like this

Now Hit the blank header where its lighted blue and shows an up arrow http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1NyHmLpVlK4Ecwk2TR6jNMI9v0bXi And it should now be pointed down like this http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1yZikneRBsNZ2YZe6HbeJYYVBzSX

Using Acrobat 9.5.5, I scanned a catalog in several segments, to merge later. How do I reverse the order of pages of the back side (odd) pages, and can I renumber each set as even numbers only and odd numbers only?

I scanned a catalog for my archive - double sided pages of course.
It was easy enough to scan the front pages first (odd numbers, 1-3-5) , in several sets of 30 pages, therefore several separate pdfs.
Then I scanned the back side (even numbers 2-4-6) pages but in their natural reverse order, rather than manually reordering all 300 pages.
Now I need to reorder the even pages which are naturally in reverse page number order (300-298-296...)
and I need to renumber all of the pages as only odd or even numbers - set 1: pages 1-3-5-7... Set 2: 2-4-6-8...
Then I can merge everything into one pdf.
How can I reverse the page order?
How can I renumber pages as only even or only odd numbers?
Anyone have these solutions? I don't use much of acrobats features, but it seems to be a pretty basic demand to be included. I can't find any clue in the software menus or online help.

You can do such ordering with JavaScript. There is a recent post with a JavaScript for dealing with another aspect of page order that might provide what you want. You will have to search the forum for the post that was about 2 or 3 weeks ago as I recall.

How can I change the order of iCal calendars listed ON MY MAC?

After upgrading to Lion the order of calendars listed on the left in iCal changed from my previous choice. I cannot modify the order by dragging a calendar to a different position in the list. I shall appreciate any suggestion to be able to have the list reordered.

Subscribe to a podcast. By default the episodes will be listed in reverse order, newest on top. In the column header for 'Release date' click the arrow so that it points upwards:
The order will now be oldest on top.
Create a playlist: select all the episodes you want to be in it in the podcast list and drag them to the playlist (enable the sidebar if necessary to make all this easier, command-option-s). They will appear in correct order and play continuously.

How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

Hello Pokerplayer62,
In order to update the order of items in your playlists on the iPod Nano, you have to update them on the computer, and then sync the updated playlists to your device.
From the iPod Nano User guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_us/ipod_nano_features_guide.pdf
To set iTunes to update iPod nano automatically with selected playlists:
Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list. Click the Options button and click Music.
Select “Automatically update selected playlists only.” Select the playlists you want.
All the best,
Sterling

How do I reverse the order in which files appear in Icon View option?

I took a lot of pictures on a trip recently, which I have uploaded to a folder in Finder. When I click on View Options and then Keep Arranged by Date Created, they get rearranged so that the most recent appears at the top, and the first ones taken are at the bottom. How can I reverse this order, so that they appear in chronological order?
Thanks,
Richard

There might be another way.
There are utilities which can batch-rename files, including options that sort by date, begin all the resulting filenames with a common prefix, and then add a sequential "padded" filename suffix. If you then display the resulting collection of files in alphabetical order (as in Finder's Arrange by Name in icon view), they should be sorted chronologically.
I haven't tried any of these, but the site for [A Better Finder Rename|http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html], shareware, states:
"A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF shooting date and time information from digital camera images and exploit them in creating sequence numbers or adding time and date information to the file name. "
There may be suitable freeware alternatives -search for *file renamer* in [Version Tracker|http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx>.

Reverse the order of Legend in Column Chart

Hello All,
Hope all is well. I tried to find way of doing it .... I am currently getting my legends in order ... but I wanted to reverse it ...can it be done ?
I can put simple text as legend but probolem is I have show/Hide series on and hence it wouldn't work ?
Anyone ?
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Hi,
Since you are looking after reversing the Legends Only..
I.g your column Order is A,B,C With their correspodingin values in the cells A1:C2
Just change the order Map C1->D1, B1->D2, A1 -> D3 and with the values as well...
This is only way if you want to reverse the order of legends..You can set any properites in the column char or if that matter any chart .There is no such property..
I hope this helps......
If you find that is done thru some other ways please do let me know...

Reverse the order of elements in an array

how would i go about Reverse the order of elements in an array??

I link to the javadocs can't be too bad. [url
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Coll
>
ections.html#reverse(java.util.List)]Collections.rever
se(List)Of course I fortell the next question, but I wantan
Array not a List? So I provide the next link:[url
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Arr
ys.html#asList(T...)]Arrays.asList(T...)Yeah but then you have to worry about the next
question which is more of a statement: "I can't use
Arrays".
Then I would as them: How would you do it in real life? Of course they could think a real world way of doing it. In that case, I'll give them an real life example.
Assumed List
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Switch the first and the last elements
13 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1
Then the second and second to the last
13 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 2 1
And repeat until your half way.
13 12 10 4 5 6 7 8 9 3 2 1
13 12 10 9 5 6 7 8 4 3 2 1
13 12 10 9 8 6 7 5 4 3 2 1

Done.

Is there a way to reverse the order of incoming mail in the new iPad?

I want to reverse the order of incoming mail on my new iPad. I want the oldest on top. I can't seem to find where or even if I can do this. Anyone know for sure? Thanks!

The Mail app only supports having the most recent at the top. You could see if any third-party email apps support it, or access your account via a browser (you can create a Safari shortcut on your iPad's homescreen for your login page).

Can I change the order of lines in a drop-down menu?

Can I change the order of items on a drop-down menu? Specifically, the "open" menu that comes up when I right-click on a link.
Putting "open in new tab" on top of "in new window" makes sense, of course, since it is used more often. But I do a lot of surfing, and had the old position in muscle memory. Re-training my brain to click on the first line instead of the second is taking a long time, and makes me grumbly.
I'd love to put it back to the old order. Can I? and, if so, how do I do it? (Please give me detailed instructions, IOW, please assume I am a complete simpleton, because sometimes I am.)

And my old desktop, which has, yech, Vista. (I haven't upgraded it to F4 yet.)
Thanks,

Where is that drop-down list, on a webpage?
Please provide a screenshot of that issue. <br />

It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
