Any easy way to show a JList in reverse order?

[Mungo Henning]

Hi Folks,
Beg pardon the "stoopid" question, but is there any easy way to "reverse"
the displayed
order of items in a JList?
I've got a JList that gets its data from a DefaultListModel and the first
item shown on the screen
appears at the top. Additional items grow down the screen; I'd like them to
grow up.

Sounds kindof an easy change to make, but Google hasn't helped me hence I
throw myself
on the mercy and kindness of the group.
Thanks in advance

I never used a JList, but quick look at the API and some Sun Tutorials
lead me here:

the method insertElementAt() looks like it could help you :-)

Hi Martin,
Damn.. its obvious. Thanks for the help.
I had discounted the "add" method because I guessed that
it would overwrite any value presently at that location.
I'm learning...

Thanks again Martin
