I think it would be nice to add an option (e.g. a simple checkbox) to the settings page of the repeater FieldType for adding a new item from the top, not from the bottom (and consequently also reverse the order of the items).
So instead of
repeater item #1
repeater item #2
repeater item #3
repeater item #4
(here appears a new item)
+ Add Item
it would look like this
+ Add Item
(here appears a new item)
repeater item #4
repeater item #3
repeater item #2
repeater item #1
Especially useful when having lots of repeater items.
Does that sound reasonable to you? Is it already intended to add the option? Thanks.
