Taking to myself - sign of madness - but still.....

Is this the relevant bit, from pyblosxom.py :-

    entrylist = [(e._mtime, e) for e in entrylist]
    entrylist.sort()
    entrylist.reverse()
    entrylist = [e[1] for e in entrylist]

If I take the entrylist.reverse() will I get what I want, with no
serious untoward consequences?
