Feature request: sort / reverse order for record list (latest on top) #323

Description

@yoonwaiyan

Feature request

Add a sort/reverse option to the record list so the latest records appear at the top instead of the bottom.

Motivation

When tailing a high-throughput topic during a live demo or debugging session, new records append to the bottom of the list. To see the latest event you have to scroll down (or press G) each time a new record arrives. An inverted view — latest on top — would let you watch new events without any manual navigation.

Proposed options

  1. Query keyword — a sort desc / order by timestamp desc clause in the query language, e.g.:

    from end - 20 sort desc
    
  2. Keyboard shortcut — a toggle key (e.g. s or r) inside the record list to flip the sort order, similar to how G jumps to the bottom today.

  3. Config option — a record_sort_order: "desc" field in the cluster or global config so the preference persists across sessions.

Any of these would work; a config option + keyboard toggle together would be ideal.

Environment

  • yozefu version: yozf --version → latest via brew install yozefu
  • Use case: live Kafka event flow demo with Avro-encoded records and schema registry decoding
