History command is in wrong order?

[francoism90]

$ history
2025-06-09 10:50:12 ...
[..]
2025-05-23 16:00:06 ...
2025-05-23 16:00:04 ...
2025-05-23 15:59:24 ...

The history command is in most cases the oldest to latest. I have tried using history -r (reverse order), but this doesn't work.

Shouldn't it be from oldest -> newest by default?

This is the default behaviour in fish. The correct flag for reverse is -R or --reverse. Granted, we have a custom function for the builtin command that doesn't accept arguments. I'll open a pull request for this.

Hmm, it seems this is the default: https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/history.html

-R or --reverse
Causes the history search results to be ordered oldest to newest. Which is the order used by most shells. The default is newest to oldest.

However appending the -R flag doesn't seem to work. I think something is missing at:

cachyos-fish-config/cachyos-config.fish

Line 70 in bd5f3e1

function history

I don't know if this disables args parsing?

@1Naim Just seen your comment. Thanks for looking into this! :)

Passing additional arguments should work now after #21

Ah, I was wondering why I couldn't pass any option flags or search with the history command.
Thank you, @1Naim!
