I can't find a post on here that is not jQuery based I need a plain JavaScript example and please don't suggest anything CSS solution related. I am aware that there is CSS methods to do things similar to this but for personal reasons I need a JavaScript solution for this instead.



Ok I need to make all the .x class names div's to be in reverse order so it will look like this



D
C
B
A


At default it looks like this



A
B
C
D


and I want the scroll box of the scroll bar on page load to start at the bottom with the reverse order of the .x div's like this photo shop image I created.

Here is my code currently






/*???*/

#a
background-color: gold;
height: 500px;

width: 90%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;

Pure javascript solution to reverse the divs



var divElems = document.getElementsByClassName('x');
var divB = document.getElementById('b');

var output = ;
for(var i =divElems.length - 1; i >= 0;i--)
output.push(divElems[i]);


b.innerHTML = '';
output.forEach(function(eachDiv)
b.appendChild(eachDiv);
);

You can use document.querySelectorAll to get all of the elements with a class of x and you can convert it to an Array with .slice.call. You can then set the #b element's innerHTML to '' which removes all elements inside it and reverse the Array of elements with a class x and use forEach to append each element to the #b element.



You can use elem.scrollTop = elem.scrollHeight; to scroll elem to the bottom.






#a
background-color: gold;
height: 500px;
width: 500px;
border-radius: 8px;
position: relative;
color: red;


#b
background-color: orange;
height: 90%;
width: 90%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
margin: auto;
overflow-y: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;


.x
background-color: blue;
display: block;
height: 200px;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
border: 2px solid white;

<div id='a'>
<div id='b'>

<div class='x'>
<h1>A</h1>
</div><!--</x>-->
<div class='x'>
<h1>B</h1>
</div><!--</x>-->

<div class='x'>
<h1>C</h1>
</div><!--</x>-->

<div class='x'>
<h1>D</h1>
</div><!--</x>-->

</div><!--</b>-->
</div><!--</a>-->
<script>
var container = document.querySelector('#b');
var elems = .slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.x'));
container.innerHTML = "";
elems.reverse().forEach(function(elem, index)
container.appendChild(elem);
);
container.scrollTop = container.scrollHeight;
//scroll to bottom of #b div
var body = document.body,
html = document.documentElement;
var docheight = Math.max( body.scrollHeight, body.offsetHeight,
html.clientHeight, html.scrollHeight, html.offsetHeight );
//get height of document cross-browser
window.scrollTo(0, docheight);
//scroll to bottom of document
</script>

    I have provided a link in the comments and here to a previous similar question with a number of valid answers:
    Previous Question



    For your question specifically, you can add the following pure JavaScript :



    <script>

    window.onload = function()

    function reverseEls(elem)
    elem = document.getElementById(elem);
    for (var i=0;i<elem.childNodes.length;i++)
    elem.insertBefore(elem.childNodes[i], elem.firstChild);



    </script>


    This will reverse your divs as desired and also scroll to the bottom of the page.

    You can firstly get all the divs using
    document.querySelectorAll('.x');



    Then reverse this order using .reverse(). Then you can turn this array of DOM elements into a string of 'string' DOM elements using .reduce():






    const divs = [...document.querySelectorAll('.x')];
    const new_order = divs.reverse().reduce((acc, elem) => acc+elem.outerHTML, '');
    document.querySelector('#b').innerHTML = new_order;

    #a
    background-color: gold;
    height: 500px;
    width: 500px;
    border-radius: 8px;
    position: relative;
    color: red;


    #b
    background-color: orange;
    height: 90%;
    width: 90%;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    margin: auto;
    overflow-y: auto;
    overflow-x: hidden;


    .x
    background-color: blue;
    display: block;
    height: 200px;
    width: 100%;
    position: relative;
    border: 2px solid white;

    <div id='a'>
    <div id='b'>

    <div class='x'>
    <h1>A</h1>
    </div><!--</x>-->
    <div class='x'>
    <h1>B</h1>
    </div><!--</x>-->

    <div class='x'>
    <h1>C</h1>
    </div><!--</x>-->

    <div class='x'>
    <h1>D</h1>
    </div><!--</x>-->

    </div><!--</b>-->
    </div><!--</a>-->





    You can even simplify this js into a one-liner if you wish:



    document.querySelector('#b').innerHTML = [...document.querySelectorAll('.x')].reverse().reduce((a, e) => a+e.outerHTML, '');

      You can use document.querySelectorAll to get all of the elements with a class of x and you can convert it to an Array with .slice.call. You can then set the #b element's innerHTML to '' which removes all elements inside it and reverse the Array of elements with a class x and use forEach to append each element to the #b element.



      You can use elem.scrollTop = elem.scrollHeight; to scroll elem to the bottom.

            For your question specifically, you can add the following pure JavaScript :



            <script>

            window.onload = function()

            function reverseEls(elem)
            elem = document.getElementById(elem);
            for (var i=0;i<elem.childNodes.length;i++)
            elem.insertBefore(elem.childNodes[i], elem.firstChild);



            </script>


            This will reverse your divs as desired and also scroll to the bottom of the page.

            You can firstly get all the divs using
            document.querySelectorAll('.x');



            Then reverse this order using .reverse(). Then you can turn this array of DOM elements into a string of 'string' DOM elements using .reduce():






            const divs = [...document.querySelectorAll('.x')];
            const new_order = divs.reverse().reduce((acc, elem) => acc+elem.outerHTML, '');
            document.querySelector('#b').innerHTML = new_order;

            #a
            background-color: gold;
            height: 500px;
            width: 500px;
            border-radius: 8px;
            position: relative;
            color: red;


            #b
            background-color: orange;
            height: 90%;
            width: 90%;
            position: absolute;
            top: 0;
            left: 0;
            right: 0;
            bottom: 0;
            margin: auto;
            overflow-y: auto;
            overflow-x: hidden;


            .x
            background-color: blue;
            display: block;
            height: 200px;
            width: 100%;
            position: relative;
            border: 2px solid white;

            <div id='a'>
            <div id='b'>

            <div class='x'>
            <h1>A</h1>

            <div class='x'>

            </div><!--</b>-->

            You can even simplify this js into a one-liner if you wish:



            document.querySelector('#b').innerHTML = [...document.querySelectorAll('.x')].reverse().reduce((a, e) => a+e.outerHTML, '');

            • Thanks Nick Parsons for your reply the reverse ordering works great but how can I set the scroll box to be set at the bottom on page load?
