Looking at the hyperdb project object wrapper methods, as described at
http://roundup.sourceforge.net/docs/customizing.html#hyperdb-property-wrapper,
there is a reverse() method and a sorted() method, but this
Roundup-hacking newbie didn't see a way to successfully combine both on
one object (if there is one, please enlighten me).

I have thus made a trivial change to my 1.6 installation to the sorted()
method to optionally return the items in reversed order.  I've attached
a diff of my changes, ported to the current development code, but
without testing.

Hi David:

I have applied the patch on rev5903:c3728772c594 and added to the 
documentation example so people know there is a new reverse optional 
argument.

Thanks for the patch.

I have to agree with you, I an not sure how the reverse() method is 
supposed to work.
