I have a file of citations as follows below, some of them 160 characters long or more. I want to put it in reverse order. I can think of a lot of clunky ways to do it. Can anybody think of a simple way? I like to use XyWrite programs when they're simple, and DOS batch files or utilities when they're simple. (BTW this is a list of citations of the last volume of the New England Journal of Medicine from Medline. Medline will display citations only in reverse chronological order, and it's more convenient for me to have them in chronological order. It's also more convenient for me to have them in Date, Title and Author sequence.) Mohamadnejad M, Malekzadeh R. Hepatitis B. 2004 Jun 24;350(26):2719-20. Sollecito TP, Alawi F.
