JSTL forEach reverse order

Question

Using JSTL\'s forEach tag, is it possible to iterate in reverse order?

Answer 1

You could also consider rolling a custom JSTL function that returned a reversed copy of your list, backed by something like this:

public static  List reverse(List list) {
    List copy = Collections.emptyList();
    Collections.copy(copy, list);
    Collections.reverse(copy);
    return copy;
}

Doesn't work for Collections, but as mentioned in another answer, the concept of ordering is a bit vague for some collections.
