Hi Antje


use the fact that n:1 counts backwards from n, and then use this as
a row index:

 > m <- matrix(1:30,5,6)
 > m[nrow(m):1,]
      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6]
[1,]    5   10   15   20   25   30
[2,]    4    9   14   19   24   29
[3,]    3    8   13   18   23   28
[4,]    2    7   12   17   22   27
[5,]    1    6   11   16   21   26


[
a more general answer would be

library(magic)
arev(m,1)
]
