Reverse order

[joshmedeski]

Can you add support for reversing the output order? It appears to be ascending instead of descending. I'd expect the highest frequency result to be at the top but it appears to be on the bottom.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but let me know if that support can be added, thanks.

Thanks for the observation.

Yes, this is intentional - it means that when listing files with 'memy list', the most frecent item appears last on the terminal, next to the prompt. There is precedent for both approaches, because 'fasd' (which is what memy is modelled on) lists the most frecent last, whereas zoxide (zoxide query --list) lists the most frecent first.

It's easy to reverse in a pipeline - memy list | tac should work, or if you prefer a single command memy list -s --output-filter-command tac.

Is there a good reason to build this in? I guess I could, just trying to avoid option proliferation.

I can pass a pipe to force a reverse order, but tools like fzf filter down based on the top down results. So having a top score as the first item is more useful in general. Hope that makes sense.
