Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy/issues/227

I think it'd be helpful to have the option to sort history order in reverse (i.e. showing the most recently copied item first, then going backwards chronologically as you go down the list). This is the way ClipMenu used to display history with the "Date Created" option checked, so it may just be habit, but I find myself wanting quicker access to the most recent items I've copied, rather than the oldest.

@samaero Does it work by Sort history order by: setting in the preference General tab?

Sort history order by: : Date Created

@Econa77 commented on GitHub (Oct 18, 2017): @samaero Does it work by `Sort history order by:` setting in the preference `General` tab? `Sort history order by:` : `Date Created`

Sorry for the slow response @Econa77 - when I sort by "Date Created", it works in the reverse of the way ClipMenu used to. So right now if I copy 5 things, the oldest entry is ⌘1 and the newest is ⌘5. The way ClipMenu used to list it would be that the oldest is ⌘5 and the newest is ⌘1. I think it makes sense to have the option of doing it either way, but maybe that's just me?

Yea, huge thumbs up for me for this too, since "Date Created" is in reverse order to me as well.
