How to make new inserted rows become on top of ListView (Android Studio)

Question

The usual thing when I insert a new row into a ListView it is added at the bottom of the ListView by default. Can I make it upside down? I want the new added rows be on top, or I may say I want the ListView in descending flow sorted by time. Is there a way to implement that from ListView settings? or it is related to the List connected with the ListView? I searched about it and all I could find is "stackFromBottom" which makes the view of ListView scroll down and start showing from the bottom, and it is different from what I want.

Try this, Collections.reverse(); might work for you. – Parth Lotia Mar 20 '19 at 05:49 — Parth Lotia, Mar 20 '19 at 05:49
Reverse your array before setting to adapter. – Vrushi Patel Mar 20 '19 at 05:51 — Vrushi Patel, Mar 20 '19 at 05:51

you can add row to top using add function with index.

example :

items.add(0, obj)

inside adapter you have item list that you add the row to top(index 0) and call

notifyiteminserted or notifydatasetchanged

probably duplicated Add new items to top of list view on Android?
