DP0017: How can I reverse the order of existing drawings (Sequence Fill)?

Glossary
Sequence Fill: Use the Sequence Fill dialog box to label cells in a column in the Xsheet View. This dialog box can help you automate labeling repetitive timing effects, such as cycles.

If you just want to invert the order of existing drawings it's not a problem but you will have to do it in the Xsheet. 

Step 1, In the Xsheet, you have drawing 1 to 10 for example and you want to reverse the drawing order from 10 to 1. Then first select the range of drawings (cells) you want to put the inversion in whit Shift key.
 

Step 2. Then go in the Xsheet menu > Exposure > Sequence Fill. Or you can do right click to select Sequence Fill after the selection of the range of drawings (cells). 

Step 3. In the Sequence Fill window you would put Starting value 10 for example. Then -1  (minus one) in the Increment. Then Hold on 1s or 2s, whatever you need.
 

This will reorder the cells selected with the drawing names specified as 10, 9, 8 ...

Note: You cannot do this in the Timeline nor can you do it with key frames of pegs.  It's only good on drawings (more precisely on cells) in the Xsheet.

After that if you want to repeat a cycle of 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 for example then you should use the Timeline.  Select the frames of the element that you want to cycle, right-click and choose Cycle.  Put the number of cycles you want to have.

Here again the Cycle will not work with Key frames of pegs, but only on drawings.
