All,

I have a large list of publications. The problem is that the order they =
are
in is the inverse to what I want (the oldest are first). The other major
problem is the date is not in the same place for each article e.g.

Bloggs Joe, The Art Picking Your Nose, Journal of Useless Things, 1975

Blair Tony, How to Make Friends and Influence People, 1997 Labour
Manifestation pp 69 - 79.

etc.

As you can see the dates aren't always in the same place otherwise I cou=
ld
have tried a sort using the column number.

So what I want is to inverse the list of publications. Last first, first
last etc.

Anyone have any ideas?

Regards,

Matt
