TYPO3 Core

Starting from #17747 and expanding that idea, I'm suggesting a plain .reverseOrder property, that will reverse the order of the HMENU items (first level).

Example of typoscript at template setup:

lib.topmenu = HMENU
lib.topmenu.reverseOrder = 1

The attached patch will implement that, and I've been using it with version 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 for a couple of weeks now, with no incidents.

Patch: typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/class.tslib_menu.php, starting from line 825 (roughly):

$temp[$row['uid']]['sectionIndex_uid'] = $row['uid'];
                        }
                    }
                }
            } else {    // Default:
                $temp = $this->sys_page->getMenu($this->id,'*',$altSortField);        // gets the menu
                if ($this->conf['reverseOrder']) {                    //skagon's patch for reverseOrder
                    $temp = array_reverse($temp);
                }
            }

$c=0;
            $c_b=0;
