When you read data from a file into an array it is already in order.

Yep, the original node said so, too.

If you want to read the last element of the array then simply use array-1 and then keep incrementing to go from the bottom up.

Wasn't this basically your other reply too? At least there it made some (i.e. "a very limited amount of") sense. Here, it's completely OT wrt what you're replying to. Which in turn seems to be OT wrt its own subject...

Hope this helps.

I don't think so. Sorry.
