[Solved] Reverse the order of a list of file names (but not sort them alphabetically or numerically)
Hello all,
I have a list of file names in a text document where each file name consists of 4 letters and 3 numbers (for example MACR119). There are 48 file names in the document (they are not in alphabetical or numerical order). I would like to reorder the list of names so that the 48th name is 1st, the 47th name is 2nd, the 46th name is 3rd etc. There is no other text in the document, just the list of the names. Thank you in advance!

Hi all.
I have 2 files like this:
f1
A 10
B 80
C 9
f2
A 11
B 700
C 10
What I want is the concatenation of the two files sorted by name (alphabetically) and size (numerically), so the result should be like this:
F3 (cat f1 f2 sorted)
A 10
A 11
B 80
B 700 (2 Replies)

DESCRIPTION
This document specifies both names and syntax of all the commands which together are the docidx markup language, version 1. As this docu-
ment is intended to be a reference the commands are listed in alphabetical order, and the descriptions are relatively short. A beginner
should read the much more informally written docidx language introduction first.
COMMANDS
comment plaintext
Index markup. The argument text is marked up as a comment standing outside of the actual text of the document. Main use is in free-
form text.
include filename
Templating. The contents of the named file are interpreted as text written in the docidx markup and processed in the place of the
include command. The markup in the file has to be self-contained. It is not possible for a markup command to cross the file bound-
aries.
index_begin text title
Document structure. The command to start an index. The arguments are a label for the whole group of documents the index refers to
(text) and the overall title text for the index (title), without markup.
The label often is the name of the package (or extension) the documents belong to.
index_end
Document structure. Command to end an index. Anything in the document coming after this command is in error.
key text
Index structure. This command adds the keyword text to the index.
lb Text. The command is replaced with a left bracket. Use in free-form text. Required to avoid interpretation of a left bracket as the
start of a markup command. Its usage is restricted to the arguments of other markup commands.
manpage file text
Index structure. This command adds an element to the index which refers to a document. The document is specified through the sym-
bolic name file. The text argument is used to label the reference.
Symbolic names are used to preserve the convertibility of this format to any output format. The actual name of the file will be
inserted by the chosen formatting engine when converting the input. This will be based on a mapping from symbolic to actual names
given to the engine.
rb Text. The command is replaced with a right bracket. Use in free-form text. Required to avoid interpretation of a right bracket as
the end of a markup command. Its usage is restricted to the arguments of other commands.
url url label
Index structure. This is the second command to add an element to the index. To refer to a document it is not using a symbolic name
however, but a (possibly format-specific) url describing the exact location of the document indexed here.
vset varname value
Templating. In this form the command sets the named document variable to the specified value. It does not generate output. I.e. the
command is replaced by the empty string.
vset varname
Templating. In this form the command is replaced by the value of the named document variable
