Is there a way to reverse the order in which the items appear?
(newest entry first, oldest entry bottom) in the System Log Viewer application?

I tend to find myself scrolling down all the time :P

Me too. I hate Gnome system log viewer. I still use it, but it sucks. What we need is a better log viewer. Maybe someone can tell us how to use the CLI for better log viewing.

I don't hate the viewer at all, it's pretty handy with the regex filters and all...
I just want it to output in reverse order...
Is the sourcecode to this viewer available somewhere? Anyone know how to compile it? I might just have a stab at it myself :P
