This plugin allows to revert the Repeating Group elements ordering. So to see / load next items in the list you have to scroll to the top (instead of scrolling to the bottom). Use case: any chat / messaging app (e.g. Facebook, Telegram, WhatsAppā€¦). The latest message showed on the bottom and you have to scroll to the top to load older ones. Plugin features: - Revert the Repeating group elements order and change the scroll behaviour - Show scrollbar on the left (right) side of the Repeating Group - Hide/Show scrollbar ![Inverted_RG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/a/2/a21e3880a20b62a8c198c18e8edb40645158a224.jpeg) Check our demo to see the plugin in action: [DEMO](https://digitaleyedemo.bubbleapps.io/inverted_rg) | [EDITOR](https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=inverted_rg&id=digitaleyedemo&tab=tabs-1) [Full Description, Documentation & Screenshots](https://digitaleye.bubbleapps.io/index/inverted-repeating-group) Plugin Page: > **[Inverted Repeating Group Like Chat Plugin for Bubble, by Digital Eye](https://bubble.io/plugin/inverted-repeating-group-like-chat-1614516761794x182777501586030600)** > > Inverted Repeating Group Like Chat Plugin page on Bubble, by Digital Eye.

Is this different than the @ZeroqodeSupport plugin of the same? ---

Hi @jared.gibb , Thank you for your question! From what I can see, the main idea of both plugins is the same. However, they have slightly different settings. Also, Iā€™m not sure whether Zerocodeā€™s plugin can update the settings dynamically (like in our demo) since they didnā€™t provide any demo for that. And of cause, the technical realisation may be different ---

Thanks for the plugin, really helpful! Firstly Iā€™ve tried another one mentioned above and it didnā€™t work for me (some issues on mobile and really weird reversed order for characters). Your plugin is fantastic!! šŸ™ ---

Hi, A couple of questions: - Will it work with other elements such as buttons, images, links, etc. apart from the text elements? - Can I use this plugin functionality to build a chatbot? Thanks, Shashank ---

Hi Shashank, Sure, you can use other element types as well! Here is a simple example with images, texts and links: - [Demo](https://digitaleyedemo.bubbleapps.io/version-test/inverted_rg2) - [Editor](https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=inverted_rg2&id=digitaleyedemo&tab=tabs-1) ![Inverted_RG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/3/a/3a0b5fe1a90abd4396fe6474ff9d3cfd305aee08.jpeg) And yes, I donā€™t see why you canā€™t use for a chatbot šŸ™‚ I will be happy to answer any further questions you may have! ---

Itā€™s very similar to Zeroqodeā€™s, but Iā€™d be interested if you can get a mouse wheel scroll to work like the scrollbar does. It does in this plugin [RepeatingGroup to Chat Plugin | Bubble](https://bubble.io/plugin/repeatinggroup-to-chat-1577723723112x940641204980154400). ---

Thank you for the reply, when i do mobile apps i use full list to be height responsive, my chat runs inside a floating (both) group. Zeroqode plugin dont work in a full list group. A good test would be Screen 380x1000 Floating group (both) same window size Make a RP chat on top, only one row (like 80px height) and tell me if the plugin works šŸ™ šŸ™ šŸ™ šŸ™ šŸ™ ---

Thank you for a great example! I understand now your requirement. Unfortunately, this wonā€™t work because the plugin needs a _scrollable_ container ---

Hi there! Iā€™ve tried to implement exactly as youā€™ve shown in the demo, but Iā€™m having a few issues. Iā€™m copying a video of what my setup looks like, and screenshots of how I set up the RG and the Inverted RG elements. 1. For some reason, the text has taken on right to left orientation 2. It doesnā€™t show the most recent comments on load - theyā€™re below the fold of the screen 3. When I scroll to the BOTTOM, it adds items to the top of the list. It should be doing that when I scroll to the TOP of the list. Do you know why Iā€™m having these issues?
