Sort list reverse order

I want to sort a list of files in reverse order e.g. oldest to newest instead of newest to oldest I seems the ony options are date, name etc.

Right click (Control click) on the column headings and make sure you have the right 'Date' term select that you want to sort.
Then click on the column heading ('Date Modified' in the case below) to change from oldest to newest and newest to oldest. The triangle will flip upside down as you do so.

Tile list reverse order

Hey,
anyone know if its possible to reverse the order of a tile list?
say I have an array
array
item 1
item 2
item 3
/array
I want to display item 3 at the top of my list and 1 at the bottom?
Cheers
Tim

Hi Seglespaan,
I think myArrayCollection.source.reverse(); should work for you..
Check out this simple example below...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
   initialize="initData();" >
   <mx:Script>
   <![CDATA[
      import mx.controls.Button;
      import mx.collections.*;
      private var listArray:Array=[
         {label: "item0", data: 0},{label: "item1", data: 1},
         {label: "item2", data: 2},{label: "item3", data: 3},
         {label: "item4", data: 4},{label: "item5", data: 5},
         {label: "item6", data: 6},{label: "item7", data: 7},
         {label: "item8", data: 8}];
      [Bindable]
      public var TileListdp:ArrayCollection;
      private function initData():void {
         TileListdp = new ArrayCollection(listArray);
         TileListdp.source.reverse();
   ]]>
   </mx:Script>
   <mx:TileList dataProvider="{TileListdp}"
      itemRenderer="mx.controls.Button"/>
</mx:Application>
Thanks,

Songs are in reverse order on iPad, but correct on iTunes

I have a number of Smart Playlists that look fine when displayed on iTunes, but when iTunes copies them to my iPad Air, the list of albums shows up in the correct order but the songs in each album are sorted in reverse order.
So for example, I have a Smart Playlist defined where "Artist is Jean Michel Jarre". That playlist is sorted by Year in list view and by Year-then-Title in Grid view.
When I look at that same Playlist on my iPad Air, all of his albums appear in chronological order (which I expect), but the songs on each album are listed last-to-first. So Oxygene (his first album) shows up before Equinoxe (his second album), but the list of songs on the Oxygene album are shown as: Part VI, Part V, Part IV, Part III, Part II, Part I. All of the albums on the list are in the right order, but the list of songs on each album appears backwards in each one.
This is just one example of a bug that manifests itself a lot on my iPad. I have a lot of Smart Playlists that misbehave just like this. I deal with it by creating not-smart playlists that are exact copies of the Smart Playlists -- but honestly, why offer Smart Playlists if they're not going to display correctly? If they're this buggy, why am I using them at all?
Does anybody know of a workaround for this bug? Does anybody know whether Apple is aware of it, and if they have any plans to fix it? Please? Maybe? Someday?

I am now home from work, and over the past hour I have tried every combination of up-arrows, down-arrows, Copy To Play Order, sorting on the leftmost column, sorting on the Year column, etc. etc. that I could think of. I believe I have followed your recommendations slavishly and to the letter.
My Jean Michel Jarre Smart Playlist is sorted with the triangle on the leftmost column, and in iTunes, the playlist order is correct. I have sync'd my iTunes library to the iPad several times, I have unchecked that playlist, performed the sync again to remove it from the iPad entirely, checked it again and performed the sync again -- I have also tried closing the Music app on the iPad and restarting it -- I've also tried deliberately sorting the tracks in iTunes in reverse order to see if the iPad does anything any differently, including a "Copy to Play Order" for good luck -- and every combination of all of these choices results in exactly the same outcome: on the iPad, albums show up in chronological order, and tracks in each album show up in reverse order. Nothing I do makes any difference at all.
Here's hoping iOS 8 at least doesn't make things any worse. Maybe if the gods are smiling, it might actually solve this problem. I was hoping that the upgrade to iTunes 11.4 might have made a difference, but, sadly, no such luck ... which is why my hopes for salvation in iOS 8 are not high ... but that doesn't stop me from being grateful to you for trying to help. Thank you for your time. I do appreciate it.

[C] Trying to sort string into reverse order ... Blank. [SOLVED]

Here are the pre-processors:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
Here are the global variables:
char output[999];
Here's the function to sort string to reverse order (I THINK THE PROBLEM IS HERE):
char output[999];
char *sort_reverse(const char *str)
int i, j = 0;
for (i = strlen(str); i > 0; i--)
output[j] = str[i];
j++;
return output;
And, function int main(void):
int main(void)
printf("Reverse of \"Hello\": %s\n", sort_reverse("Hello"));
return 0;
The output is:
Reverse of "Hello":
Why is that? how can i fix that?

Instead of the global char output[999] wich is really big, you could allocate a perfectly sized array with calloc - like this in the sort_reverse function:
char *output = calloc(strlen(input_string), sizeof(char));
and in main program:
char *reversed_string = sort_reverse("Whatever");
printf("%s\n", reversed_string);
//Remember to free reversed_string with
free(reversed_string);
//Since its allocated in the heap with calloc()
Try check man-page for calloc, it will zero out the bytes aswell, then you wont have to worry about setting the last element to '\0'.
NOTE: you have to iterate with "strlen(input_string) - 1" otherwise you will overwrite the needed '\0'
EDIT: As strlen excludes the '\0' in original string, then you have to make space for that by adding one to strlen return value so:
char *output = calloc(strlen(input_string) + 1, sizeof(char));

Postal address listed in reverse order

My postal addresses in my adress book are now in reverse order, in other words listed zip first, state, city, street?
It only changed on my iphone? My Mac is fine, my iPad too. Any ideas?

Downloads window list is reverse order

Safari has a reverse order for the downloads window list. Any way to get it normal (last thing downloaded should be at the top).

No, it has never been correct on any of my three Macs. It is correct in Firefox (Mac and Window), Opera, iCab, and Internet Explorer 7 and 8. I haven't tried Chrome yet, but I'd be willing to bet it shows latest top like all the others. Don't tell me Safari is "thinking different". If it has a reverse order to display downloads, it should at least have a way to change it to normal (normal like my email list-- latest at the top).
I don't use Safari much, but I might use it more if it made sense. Maybe there is a plugin that can reverse this thing. Safari doesn't have a config window like Firefox does it?

Reverse order in File- Open dialogue

The file/folder list in the File->Open dialogue window is "stuck" at showing in reverse order. I can right-click in the Open dialogue window and sort ascending, but the next time I open a file it is back to reverse order.
I have experimented with Explorer's view settings but Reader appears to ignore those. Other applications, for example Word, use Explorer's view settings and behave as I would expect.
I suspect that someone has inadvertently changed something on this PC. Perhaps there's a keystroke combination that changes the file display order persistently?
Any ideas, please?

I'm still struggling with this - does anyone know how to change the file sort order in the File->Open dialogue?
It must be possible to change it because it has somehow been changed to reverse order!

How to change the order of filter in reverse order?

This is my demo list, and I want to apply filter to it. However, notice that the order of the filter is alphabetic, but I want it in reverse. How can I make the order of the filter in reverse order?
ie.
havefun
have fun
haha
I have no idea how to describe this problem.

there is no out-of-the-box method to change the sort order of the FILTER VALUES

When I try to insert several pdf files into an initial one, they consistently are attached in reverse order, no matter how I instruct the program. How do I correct this?

I am working with Acrobat X Pro. I open a pdf, then try to insert several files, in a specific order, into the first one. No matter whether I instruct it to place the files after the first, last or name a page number, the files are inserted in reverse order after the initial file. How do I overcome this problem?

Thanks Bill !! for providing the simple answer - this has saved me much work. I always assumed that Acrobat would either a) sort the inserted files alphanumerically or b) use the sort order of the OS's file selector. The c) answer of inserting the files in the reverse order of the OS file selector (since Acrobat will reverse that order) eluded me until now.
It's clearly a bug in the program, I'm using Acrobat X Pro, but had the exact same problem with Acrobat 7 - never occurred to me to sort the file listing in reverse alphanumeric order in order to have Acrobat insert them in correct alphanumeric order.
Thank!

Insertion an object into a sorted list

Hello
I have got class MySortedList which encloses List object.
class MySortedList {
private List list = new LinkedList();
public add(Object obj, Comparator cmp) {
Who knows how the add(Object, Comparator) method can be realized better?
All comments...

Why am I using the LinkedList?
It is not in principle. I can change this to
ArrayList, for example.
It is depend on what do I use MySortedList class for.
Can you suggest to use something else?LinkedLists are going to be the slowest way to do this. Even calling contains is slow. You have a sorted list but you have to iterate over all the preceeding elements to get at an element even though you know where it is.
There is also a problem with the general design. someone can call the method once with one Comparator and then again with a completely different comparator. For example, if you add 5 elements with a String comparator that sorts them alphabetically and then with a Comparator that sorts them in reverse alphabetically you could end up with a list like:
z, c, d, e, f, g
then you call it with t and the firs comparator and get:
t, z, d, r, f, g
It's then no longer in order with respect to either comparator and the whole thing is broken. You need to set the Comparator in the constructor.
Use an ArrayList and the code becomes:
public synchronized void add(Object obj)
        int index = Collections.binarySearch(list, obj, comparator);
        if (index == list.size()) list.add(obj);
        else if (index < 0) list.add((index * -1) - 1, obj);
}

List View order

What dictates the order of list view items after the chosen one?
I use labels (colors) for the primary list view order, the secondary order appear to be reverse alphabetical.
I want the secondary order to be normal alphabetical.
Can I set his somehow?

HI,
In the Finder window in List view at the top you will see: Name / Modified / Size etc...
Click Name. You can toggle back and forth.

Just purchased a new iMac and transferred all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow is displays the pictures in reverse order.

Just purchased a new iMac and after transferring all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow it displays the pictures in reverse order.

There's a bug in iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks that affects slideshows played directly from an album. The slideshow will not play correctly if the photos have been sorted manually. Any other type of sort, date, rating, keyword or title, will play correctly.
If you need that manual sort of pictures for your slideshow create the slideshow in iPhoto's slideshow mode.

My I-Pod plays all podcast in reverse order such as 3.2.1 no matter how I arrange them in I-Tunes. How do I get my I-Pod to play in the proper 1,2,3 sequence?

My 3rd gen I-Pod plays all podcast in reverse order, even if I manually try to load it. I will only automatically play in 3,2,1 order. Even brought it to the Apple Store and they couldn't figure it out either. Even bought another I-Pod and still plays in reverse order. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance for any help, Ty

They did not order the podcasts correctly in the playlist then. Several people, including myself, have been able to play podcasts in sequential order.
When viewing the playlist in iTunes, look to the far left of each episode. There should be a number next to it. This is the ordering of the playlist. Sort the playlist in sequential order and view the numbering along the leftmost column and see if the ordering matches up as desired. If they don't, you'll need to drag and drop tracks until they are.
Once the ordering is as desired, right->click on the playlist and choose Copy to Play Order. Then resync the playlist over to your iPod.

When downloading updates from iTunes to my iPhone my playlists appear in reverse order with least played at the top. I just want the playlist to appear in the same order as my iTunes library. This seems to have changed after downloading iCloud

When dowloading updates from my iTunes library onto my iPhone
my playlists appear in reverse order with the least played at the top of the list
and most played at the end on the playlist.
Therefore I cant play my favourites in the order that I like to hear them.
This all changed when I recently downloaded the iCloud application.

Hi Jim,
Is this temporary cache accessing my data when I play songs from it? As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm still able to listen to these songs even when my phone is in airplane mode and the download icon is still present next to said songs. This implies that the songs are already downloaded onto my phone even if I didn't opt to download them directly from the cloud -- they're on my phone because my phone was shuffling my library on a wifi network.
