foreach loop in reverse order

[J]

I would like to do a foreach loop in reverse order. I have my elements
to loop over in a local macro, but I can't find a way to reorder
elements of the macro or tell the for loop to start at the end and go
to the beginning. There is a sort function for macros, but it only
will reorder the elements in alphabetical order.

Try doing it from within a loop:

**************!
sysuse auto, clear
ds
di "`r(varlist)'"

foreach v in `r(varlist)' {
local reverse `v' `reverse'
}

di "`r(varlist)'"
di "`reverse'"
**************!
