Working solution for reversing any Objectlist using a microflow, recursively calling a sub_microflow.

This microflow https://modelshare.mendix.com/models/b3b43833-a034-446d-8332-2219eaba908a/objectlist-reverse

Recursively calls this sub_microflow:https://modelshare.mendix.com/models/097cafff-a866-469f-8347-dcf626957f7d/sub-reverse

Endresult will be that the OrdersReversed contain the same objectlist as Orders only reversed.

You can also checkout https://demo165.mxapps.io or in the app store MyReversingMicroflowWidget

If you add an integer attribute 'sort', you could loop through the list and start with setting the first value to -1. Then subtract 1 from your counter, so the next item gets -2. Then, after the loop, you can (list operation) sort the list on the attribute 'sort', and it will place the lowest value first.

No clean way yet, but what you can do is:

- create a parameter fill it with action list -head

- create a second parameter fill it with action list -tail

- pass those two to a submicroflow and with ActionList Union , 

See https://modelshare.mendix.com/models/0be6a4ef-925e-4fd9-a43f-51ab622def56/ac-t-order-sort for a start. You will have to make all steps after and including "Tail Empty" into a recursive calling subflow.

NB. With a big enough list, this will for sure give you performance issues, as recursive actions tend to take up memory and you wil be passing the same data down and up in your calls.

I got solution for this question by creating a java action which reverses the list. The below one is my Microflow. 

And here is the java code for java action.

Hi guys I need to reverse a string function in mendix can anybody give some idea about it?

I created two entity one is persistable (with the name Input) Non- persistable entity name (Result)

What ever values  I give in Input Attribute the value has to be reversed? anybody Answer for this
