(HQ 12.2:9):  ... for the beginning of a list (of names or words, for example, whether spoken out loud or written on a scroll), one would say simply pong wa'DIch "first name" or mu' wa'DIch "first word".

For the end, one could say pong HochDIch "last name" or mu' HochDIch "last word", but one could also use a special term for the end of the list, natlIS.

(De'vID, 2/10/2018):   "Be sorted" is patlh, which also means "have a rank of".  So sort is patlhmoH, also meaning rank. The object of patlhmoH is not a list (as a whole) but the things in the list, the things to be ranked or sorted.  Sal and ghIr cannot be used for sort order.  To sort a list of English words alphabetically (or reverse alphabetically), use constructions like wa'DIch A, HochDIch Z or wa'DIch Z, HochDIch A.  For a list of Klingon words, it would be "wa'DIch bay, HochDIch qaghwI', wa'DIch qaghwI', HochDIch bay."  [And to the question of whether *yoymoH could be used for reversing a list, [Okrand] replied]: "No. Use DopmoH "cause to be opposite".

(qep'a' 2016):  When asked about navigating lists or events, [Maltz] gave us vorgh "be previous" (opposite of veb "be next"). [One] Can also use nungbogh (nung "precede")…

PUN:  last but "not least"
