Reverse Line Order
Last line first, contents unchanged.
Last line first, contents unchanged.
How to use it
- Paste your list. One item per line. Blank lines are kept where they land.
- Read it back. The order flips. The lines themselves are not altered in any way.
- Copy the result. Nothing is stored between visits.
When you would use this
Reversing a list is one of those operations that takes ten seconds in an editor you happen to know and five minutes in one you do not. It comes up more than you would expect: a log written oldest first that you want newest first, a chronology that reads better backwards, a chart that wants its categories in the other direction. Only the order changes here. The lines themselves are passed through untouched, including their leading and trailing spaces, because altering the contents while reordering would be doing two things when you asked for one. Blank lines travel with everything else rather than being quietly dropped, since deciding they should go is a separate decision with its own tool.
Questions
- Does it reverse the text inside each line?
- No. Only the order of the lines changes. Reversing the characters within a line is a different job and this is not it.
- What happens to blank lines?
- They move with everything else. Removing them first is a separate step, with its own tool.
- Is my list sent anywhere?
- No. The work happens in the page. There is no server here, which is also why it keeps going with the network disconnected.
