[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 257 bytes --]

I'd like to suggest adding a new prefix arg i.e.
`C-u C-u org-clone-subtree-with-item-shift' to reverse
the order of newly created / cloned siblings.  Would
that be of interest for other orgmode users?

Diff file is attached.

May you explain your use case a bit more?

The reason: I often use the
`org-tree-to-indirect-buffer'.  But when adding a new
sub-node with org-capture, it often was not shown
inside this indirect buffer.  Therefore, I prepended
all items with org-capture (:prepend t).  To intermix
this capturing process with the
org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift, it would have been
nice to specify the ordering.

*However* - this seems to be working with Emacs 29.3(?).
(I updated my Emacs to verify the current situation).

So I guess, this is actually no longer necessary
for my workflow and I can set :prepend to `nil'

On the other hand: There are ways to specify the
ordering like org-reverse-note-order.  Would it make
sense to have one global `org-reverse-order' that is
dealing with reversing "everything" that is somehow
dependent on ordering?

The problem is that it is not very clear what to do when:

    org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift docstring:

    If the original subtree did contain time stamps with a repeater,
    the following will happen:
    ...
    - the original entry will be placed *after* all the clones, with
      repeater intact.

So, the change is not trivial.
