Change firmware to list SD files in opposite order?

Does anybody know how to change Repetier firmware so that it lists the gcode files on the SD card with the newest file at the top of the list instead of all the way at the bottom?
When you've got 100+ files on a card, it gets annoying having to scroll to the bottom of the list every time. It would be much easier to have the newest file on top.

I don't know but while we're talking about tweaking the firmware, can we put an "Are you sure?" on the home towers option?
I was about 30 seconds into a print last night when I decided to up the flow multiplier. As I'm about to press "previous screen" I manage to slightly rotate the knob just as I press it down so I accidentally select the "home towers" option instead. Let's just say I found it necessary to hit the power switch a few seconds later.

I did that in the middle of a long print... It sucked :/

I'm digging into the home towers "feature" as I have unintentionally interfered with print jobs in the same way. My thought was that rather than tweak just that one function (by adding a confirmation or other means) I would alter the user interface timing. Thinking that it should ignore any knob press that occurs within some number of milliseconds after detecting knob rotation.
I think inverting the display order for files would be useful. The file you want to print is often the last one added. A slightly expanded SD Card function menu could offer more choices. I know I'd love to have multiple sort orders and a search function. Maybe some day.
