I am trying to reverse the order of a list (it contains four items) and display it in a List Viewer but it does not work. In fact, I can’t seem to modify the list in the variable at all (I tried inserting items manually one at a time with a button and that doesn’t seem to do it either).

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

I also should note that I am initializing the variable as an empty list.

edit:  
It appears that I cannot modify a list stored inside a variable _at all_. See example project here:

Tapping the button should remove item #1 from the list but it does nothing. Is this a bug or am I just oblivious??
