asterisk users - Sep 2004 - reverse the selection order of zap channels for outgoing calls

The subject says it all.

Is it possible, code wise, configuration wise, at all - to reverse the
order in which the available zap channels are used for *outgoing* calls?

Code wise, I looked at the channel structure and it appears as though
there is only a next pointer, not a previous pointer, so to 'easily' to
this in the code would require a change to the code that reads in
zapata.conf?

I know I could simply plug the wires in 'backwards' for POTS lines, but
I was just wondering if this could be done otherwise.

Thanks,
Chris

It would be great if there was a config option to select channels via 
multiple ways (ie, Round Robin, Most Idle, Least Idle, etc).   As far as 
I know this is not available,

Zap/g1 = hunts for the first available channel in group 1
Zap/G1 =  hunts for the first available channel in reverse order in group 1

Definitely not a asterisk-dev post, keep this stuff on asterisk-users
please.

With Zap groups you have a few ways to handle it.

Zap/g1 is group 1 starting from the beginning each time
Zap/G1 is group 1 starting from the end each time
Zap/r1 is group 1 round robin from the beginning
Zap/R1 is group 1 round robin from the end
