Get app to read screen submission decending instead of ascending ??

Would like to revers the way that the app reads the screen list. From ascending to descending, this way I wont have to move every file to the top (gets hard after 50 or so.) This way the newest shows on top.. How can I do this?

If you are referring to a bunch of screens in a menu list, unfortunately the only way to reorder them within the control panel is to renumber their order manually.

I dont want to reorder them in the control panel, Id like to try and design the app to read them backwards. Is this possible?

Maybe i'm missing something, why not just re-order them in the control panel, so the app reads them 'backwards' - this is the whole idea - you decide the order. I guess you could modify the Objective-C in the parseScreenData method for whatever screen you're workign with but again..not sure how this is different than using the CP

Because I plan to update it daily, I figure when I get to 100 items in a list dragging every file to the top each time will be a real pain this way the new stuff will appear as new and old will slowly move down the list..

@slater - Is this for a v1.5 app? If so, when creating a new menu list item you can specify where in the list you would like it to appear by setting the Order Number field. So by setting the Order Number to 1, the list item will be at the top of your list. If you are dealing with v1.4 for android I'm afraid you're going to have to wait for us to release v1.5, as our focus is on getting that up and running and not making fixes/additions to v1.4. Otherwise, as David mentioned, you are free to dig into the project source code and make whatever changes your coding abilities allow.
