Default Linest - Why did they do that?

I am having difficulty with the order of the coefficients outputed by linest
when doing a multivariable regression. My problem is that the order is
reversed from the input x variables. While for displaying the coefficients I
do not have a problem, the problem is that my sheet is setup so that the
column order is x1,x2,x3,x4... and I would like to use
mmult(inputs,transpose(output coefficient)) or Sum(inputs*ouput
coefficients) ) to fill in dataspace in other operations.

Any suggestions on a way reverse the order so that I can use it with matrix
operations without creating new columns in reverse order (involves reverse
thinking on my part).

Thanks in advance
