Please follow the format below for requesting a feature.

**The problem that this feature will solve:**

Quality-of-life modification. Most History edits are done to things relatively recent in the project hierarchy, and edits done to very early history steps are more likely to break the project. It makes sense to display the bottom of the list first, especially since (on iPad at least) it is time-consuming to scroll to the bottom every time.

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**

Less time spent scrolling through the same menu over and over, more time working on my project 🙂

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?**

This is not a blocker, but it would make Shapr feel nicer to use. One less repetitive task between me and a consistent flow state.

This could be addressed with a simple sort order control. I like it.

There’s already a filter button there. They could just expand the options to toggle between top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top sorting.

Or perhaps an easy way to get to the bottom of the list.
