If one wants to take an ordinary r matrix and reorder it in the manner  
you describe:

mtx2 <- mtx[ nrow(mtx):1, ]

Whether that is an efficient way to get at the sokution your you  
programming task I cannot say. It sounds as though it has gotten too  
convoluted. I was not able to comprehend the overall goal from your  
problem description.
