found a solution at: http://cflib.org/library.cfm?ID=5

I guess I could have coded this myself but am astounded CF doesn't offer this functionality. anyway, the relevant function is pasted below.

function ArrayReverse(inArray){
var outArray = ArrayNew(1);
var i=0;
var j = 1;
for (i=ArrayLen(inArray);i GT 0;i=i-1){
outArray[j] = inArray[i];
j = j + 1;
}
return outArray;
}

this function is supposed to also sort arrays, unless I am understanding the description: "...or the elements in an array" wrongly. However, when I try:

var a = Reverse(StructKeyArray(rs));

I get:

Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.
The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression result as a simple value, however, the result cannot be converted to a simple value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values. Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of complex values.

wtf?? I have not found an alternative. Anyone with ideas can mail me, I'll be all ears!
