Return the list of files from Groovy's eachFile() in reverse order

Question

I'm using eachFile(), but I'm trying to reverse the order that the iteration happens. How do I do that? Right now, it appears to sort the list of files and then process each one in sorted order. I essentially want to reserve-sort that list and start from the end.

Answer 1

I believe you can't alter the order of eachFile(), but you can achieve the desired effect.

Consider:

new File("desired dir").listFiles().sort{ it.name }.reverse().each { def f ->
    println f.name
}
