Jan Borsodi	Friday 28 January 2005 2:13:36 am You can reverse the iteration by setting the <i>reverse</i> attribute. {section name=Num loop=-5 reverse} {$Num:index}:{$Num:number}:{$Num:key} Number: {$Num:item}<br/> {/section} -- Amos Documentation: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation FAQ: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/faq
Michael D.	Friday 28 January 2005 8:36:31 am Thank you, works. Might be helpful to add this to the docs (http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/development/libraries/ez_template/functions/section<b></b>). I would do it myself but I think I should read "about" and "guidelines" before, but these links are empty.

<h3>Iterating 5 times, backwards</h3>

{section name=Num loop=-5}
{$Num:index}:{$Num:number}:{$Num:key} Number: {$Num:item}<br/>

{/section}

outputs for me (using eZ publish 3.5.0):

Iterating 5 times, backwards
0:1:0 Number: -1
1:2:1 Number: -2
2:3:2 Number: -3
3:4:3 Number: -4
4:5:4 Number: -5

This makes no difference to loop=5 besides $Num:item being negative.

You can reverse the iteration by setting the <i>reverse</i> attribute.

{section name=Num loop=-5 reverse}
{$Num:index}:{$Num:number}:{$Num:key} Number: {$Num:item}<br/>
{/section}
