Hi all,
We need to add a reverse counter to our views result.
Currently the View result counter exists but it's not really what I need, instead of having an ascending counter, I need a reverse counter that count descending.
So I made some changes in the views_handler_field_counter.inc, here they are.
/**
* @file
* Definition of views_handler_field_counter.
*/
/**
* Field handler to show a counter of the current row.
*
* @ingroup views_field_handlers
*/
class views_handler_field_counter extends views_handler_field {
function option_definition() {
$options = parent::option_definition();
$options['counter_start'] = array('default' => 1);
$options['reverse'] = array('default' => 0);
return $options;
}
function options_form(&$form, &$form_state) {
$form['counter_start'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Starting value'),
'#default_value' => $this->options['counter_start'],
'#description' => t('Specify the number the counter should start at.'),
'#size' => 2,
);
$form['reverse'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkbox',
'#title' => t('Reverse'),
'#default_value' => $this->options['reverse'],
'#description' => t('Reverse the counter.'),
);
parent::options_form($form, $form_state);
}
function query() {
// do nothing -- to override the parent query.
}
function render($values) {
$reverse = ($this->options['reverse'] == 0) ? 1 : -1;
// Note: 1 is subtracted from the counter start value below because the
// counter value is incremented by 1 at the end of this function.
$counter_start = is_numeric($this->options['counter_start']) ? $this->options['counter_start'] : 0;
$count = ($reverse == -1) ? count($this->view->result) + $counter_start : $counter_start -1;
$pager = $this->view->query->pager;
// Get the base count of the pager.
if ($pager->use_pager()) {
$count += (($pager->get_items_per_page() * $pager->get_current_page() + $pager->get_offset())) * $reverse;
}
// Add the counter for the current site.
$count += ($this->view->row_index + 1) * $reverse;
return $count;
}
}
If it's useful, I can make a patch and to have it inside Views by default.
Needs work

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
The code in the original post works fine for me in Drupal 6. I replaced the code in views_handler_field_counter.inc and now I have the Reverse option which works for my list of over 1200 members: https://www.topcatholicsongs.com/users
I have views-6.x-3.11 installed on my site.
Thank you, pol!
This needs an issue summary update.
@rschletty you might consider updating to a newer version of drupal. Drupal 6 had not received updates since 2017.
