I must have been baiting the asker, or was just very obtuse, because I've had a specific understanding of 'reverse alphabetical listings' for decades, with at least two dictionaries using this order. The words are sorted from the end of the word to the front (and are usually right-justified to emphasize the fact), so the words in this example would be sorted thus: tama
babemi
kuzumi
jepi
devi
xikumo
zuzulu
And to answer the original question, no, I haven't. I don't know of anyone else doing it either, but it sounds like a good idea, at least for the stems.

Hi James,
Can you clarify what you mean by "reverse alphabetical order"? Ending up with a list like
zuzulu
xikumo
tama
kuzumi
jepi
devi
babemi
doesn't seem useful compared to the list
babemi
devi
jepi
kuzumi
tama
xikumo
zuzulu

Has anyone ever arranged Latejami words in reverse alphabetical order?
