I’d like to travese the contents of an xml.collected() in a reverse order. I have

    for connectionFromXML in xml.collected(viewFromXML,"/connection") do
      parseXMLConnection( rootFromXML, connectionFromXML, viewFromXML, rootFromOverrideXML)
    end

I tried:

    local relationTable = xml.collected(viewFromXML,"/connection")
    for i=#relationTable, 1, -1 do
      connectionFromXML = relationTable[i]
      parseXMLConnection( rootFromXML, connectionFromXML, viewFromXML, rootFromOverrideXML)
    end

But apparently my lua knowledge is lacking (severely, I might say) as this ends with “attempt to get length of a function value “

What is the correct way to do it?

it's an iterator

xml.all

Tried to find documentation, but failed.

Tried this:

    local relationTable = xml.all(viewFromXML,"/connection")
    for i=#relationTable, 1, -1 do
      connectionFromXML = relationTable[i]
      parseXMLConnection( rootFromXML, connectionFromXML, viewFromXML, rootFromOverrideXML)
    end

but it fails as well.

It had been awhile, so for the record.

I was looking for something similar and found out that adding a third
argument to the xml.collected reverses the iterations. Looks like the
argument has to be true in a boolean sense, so puting any "string" there
will do the trick.

for v in xml.collected(doc, "/chapter/section", "string") do
...
end
