------------------------------------------------

             Summary: Unable to select from the end
                 Key: UIMA-5830
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5830
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: UIMA
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0SDK
            Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho


I don't find a way to implement selection from the end by index using SelectFS 
- maybe it is a bug or maybe it is not supported:

{code}
    String text = "Rot wood cheeses dew?";
    tokenBuilder.buildTokens(jCas, text);

    // uimaFIT: JCasUtil.selectByIndex(jCas, Token.class, -1).getCoveredText()
    assertEquals("dew?", 
jCas.select(Token.class).backwards().get(1).getCoveredText());
{code}

The `uimaFIT` line is how it works in uimaFIT. Below my attempt in doing it 
using SelectFS. my understanding is that `backwards()` should change the 
iteration order (so starting at the end of the index instead of at the 
beginning in this case) and then `get(0)` should get the final token `dew?`. 
But instead, the statement returns the first token `Rot`.
