For this assignment it's probably enough to just display the page list in reverse order (assuming you use a List). For example:

for( int i=pages.size()-1 ; i >= 0 ; --i )

{

// display pages.get(i)

}

For the next assignment where pages can be edited and the listing should be based on the last-edited-time, you may want to have the WikiPage class implements the Comparable interface then use Collections.sort() to sort them before displaying.
