Since your list is already in ascending order  we can simply reverse the list   gt  gt  gt  timestamps reverse    gt  gt  gt  timestamps   2010-04-20 10 25 38     2010-04-20 10 12 13     2010-04-20 10 12 13     2010-04-20 10 11 50     2010-04-20 10 10 58     2010-04-20 10 10 37     2010-04-20 10 09 46     2010-04-20 10 08 22    2010-04-20 10 08 22     2010-04-20 10 07 52     2010-04-20 10 07 38     2010-04-20 10 07 30
