A while back we agreed that most chronological lists should go forward, from past to present reading down. (prizes, incumbents, lists of works, and chronologies themselves)
since there are many list pages that go the other way, and reversing by hand is tedious, I've put up a perl script:

I'll link it to it from the manual of style when I get round to updating it to mention lists.
