Hi Sarah,
After a little discussion in ChatRev, this is what I end up with:
function reverseList theListArray
split theListArray by cr
put the keys of theListArray
combine theListArray by cr and tab
sort lines of theListArray numeric descending by item 1 of each
split theListArray by column
return theListArray[2]
end reverseList
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

OK people, what's the fastest way to reverse the order of lines in a
list. I have a list of images gathered together by filtering matching
files from a set of folders. Now I want to be able to reverse the
order, but their file names are varied and so I have no obvious way to
sort them.
I realise I could just use a repeat for each loop and put each one
before a new list variable, but that seems rather clumsy, and using
"before" slows down when I have thousands of records.
I'm hoping that Jacque will chime in with one of her custom sort ideas
that I never can think of, but anyone is welcome to come up with some
elegant solution.
Cheers,
Sarah
