I have also recently wished to plot one axis of my data from largest on
the left to smallest on the right on the x-axis or 2-D data. My solution
involved two steps.
1. Make the x-component of each pair of x,y-coordinates to be negative of
its actual value. If the list is short, simply change the sign of each
x-component. If it is longer, do it via operations on the list of data
points.
2. When issuing the Plot (as I did since I was using interpolation)
command or ListPlot command use the following option:
FrameTicks -> {{{-70,"70"},{-75,"75"},{-80,"80"},{-85,"85"},{-90,"90"}},
Automatic},
where my original data ran from 70 to 90 along the x-axis. This is not a
very automated solution but it gives the appropriate graphs very nicely.
