git rebase --interactive commits order

Hello,

I did try to find a similar topic in the archive, but couldn't so here I ask.

Is there an option or would it be possible to make it so that `git
rebase -i` lists commits in reverse chronological order, like it does
for `git log` ?

Almost every git commands I use lists events in reverse chronological
order (reflog, log, gitk) and then you do an interactive rebase and it
always takes me a second or two to switch mindsets and start reading
them in chronological order. I asked around and I'm far from being the
only one who think this is counter-intuitive. I understand there's an
implementation simplicity reason for it to be that way, and also that
it is somewhat logical to show the commits to be applied in order, but
as your mind is trained to read them in reverse chronological order
with the other commands I'd find it more consistant if rebase also
followed that.
