Ok, from experience, if i was displaying transactional data to a user,
(I don't know if your data contains transactions) i would sort by most
recent first, so page 1 is 2007, page 2 is 2006, most people seem fine
with this. This is also how banks show your transactions online and on
statements?
Maybe in the context of your data this doesn't make sense but generally
I would do it the way i have described above...

Hi Derek,
I think you may be over complicating this issue but i am not fully sure
what you are trying to achieve. Is it not as simple as sorting your
list, so the page you want to display first is page 1 of 7 and page 2 of
7, 3 of 7 etc. contains the relevant following data?
This seems to be what you are suggesting below?
No. Say I have items dated from 1990 to 2007, and there's conveniently
enough to have exactly one page per year. If I sort them in descending
order by date, then page 1 is 2007 and page 18 is 1990 - but that makes no
sense to the average user, so I really want to have 2007 be page 18, and
start my display at page 18. I can't really see a simple way to do it, so
I'll have to start looking at the external paging documentation.
