Montage in reverse order

[Chang, Yulin]

Hi Everyone,
 
I have a simple question. I imported a series of DICOM images of different slices in order. When I make a montage of these images, I'd like the order to be reversed. Is there any simple method to do that? I've tried manually changing the file names so they appeared in reverse order in the directory, but that did not work. Apparently imageJ reads the slice number in the DICOM info section and use that for ordering. But since I will have a bunch of images, I don't want to go inside each one of them and change their image numbers.
 
Thanks!
Yulin

Hi

Have you tried Image>Stack>Tools>Reverse to invert the stack slices before outputting the montage?

Hi Yulin,

If your data is a Z stack, you can use Image > Transform > Flip Z.
