How do I use the reverse command to change the order of my table?

Hello,

I currently have a table that is ordered by time, ascending. It looks like this:

Date | Action
9pm  | Order finished
8pm  | Processing order step 3
8pm  | Processing order step 2
8pm  | Processing order step 1
7pm  | Start processing order

When I try to sort by time descending, I however get this:

Date | Action
7pm  | Start processing order
8pm  | Processing order step 3
8pm  | Processing order step 2
8pm  | Processing order step 1
9pm  | Order finished

As you can see, the events at 8pm did not change their order, therefore making it harder to read the table.
How can I correctly "turn the table around"? Any help is appreciated.
