[R] unique, but keep LAST occurence

[davidr at rhotrading.com]

?unique says

Value:

     An object of the same type of 'x'. but if an element is equal to
     one with a smaller index, it is removed.

However, I need to keep the one with the LARGEST index.
Can someone please show me the light? 
I thought about reversing the row order twice, but I couldn't get it to work right

(My data frame has 125000 rows and 7 columns, 
and I'm 'uniqueing' on column #1 (chron) only, although the class of the column may not matter.)

Say, e.g., 
> DF <- data.frame(t = c(1,2,3,1,4,5,1,2,3), x = c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8))

I would like the result to be (sorted as well)
 t x
 1 6
 2 7
 3 8
 4 4
 5 5

If I got the original rownames, that would be a bonus (for debugging.)
