Default Sorting Rows- Reverse

I have ten rows of numbers in sequential order. I want to reverse the
sequence of numbers. I believe there is a way to do this via the toolbar:
File, edit, view, insert, format, tools, data, etc. I have been searching
for the command, but can not remember where it is. Any help would be
appreciated.

If you have sorted them "Ascending", after selecting the ten rows goto
DataSort and select "Descending" and OK out.

Add another column.
Put 1, 2, 3, ..., 10 in those cells
(or even =row() in the top and fill down)

Then sort all your data by this column in descending order.

One more method.

In an adjacent column enter this formula then copy down to row 10.

=INDEX($A$1:$A$10,10-(ROW(A1)-1))

in past group reply you provided the below formula for transposing
this data from a column
to a row format.

i need to convert your formula so it will work on data that is in
column d, starting at row 25.

the formula works great as long as the data is in column a.

thanks for your help[

Jane Doe

In B1 enter:

=INDIRECT("A" & ROWS($A$1:A1)*4-4+COLUMNS($A$1:A1))

The copy B1 to B1 thru E100 or even further. *You will see:

John Smith * * *123 Maple Ave. *Springfield, NJ 081234 *123-456-7890
Jane Doe * * * *100 Center Street * * * Milton, DE 0123456 * *
*234-123-0987

Each 4 elements have been moved to a row. *The next step is to take
column D
and split it up.
