Here's a Smarty plugin (modifier) to reverse sort arrays. I needed something to reverse the menu order for a client, where the template called for the menu items to be aligned right, which caused them to load from right to left. rather than reorder the pages, which would be confusing for the client, I created this plugin.

Just copy the attached file (rename it to modifier.reverse_array.php) to your lib/smarty/plugins directory.

To reverse sort an array, like $nodelist in your menu template, just change:
to:
This will work for single level menus.

or {capture assign='newlist'}{$nodelist|array_reverse}{/capture} 
should do the same thing.

Many thanks - just needed  .

Hi
I need to achieve this on cssmenu horizontal.
Is there any quick method or is that a whole new ball game.
Many thanks for any tips.

If you have a menu you need to put to the right, like the aligned right talked about in the first post there are ways to do this with CSS w/o making your menu item reverse order, I do it all the time...

  float:left;
  text-align:right has worked a treat for me...
Couldn't see the wood for trees
Many thanks Mark

THX for the code! got me a short solution-search for my little problem

use it to reverse the order off all subpages to one page in a submenu/overview-page, since the customer wants to have the last added entry at the top.

surely, i could have filled a var at the beginning each loop, and print out afterwards, but this seems to be more readable for my successor.
