Add a "go to first" button to the SitBack feature

About FAQ #125: What is SitBack and how do I use SitBack?, the SitBack feature, I would like to ask: would it be possible to add another arrow or button which re-directs you to the very first drawing of the folder? Sometimes there's 230 drawings in one folder, and sometimes those drawings are comic strips; and going back one by one is not very cool -also, spoilers for the story-. The button or arrow can say something like "go to first" or "From first to last". What do you think, guys? Please forgive my english, it's not my first language. Thank you very much for your attention.

Why not just refresh the page?

I don't understand, how does "refresh" take you to the first published drawing in a folder?
I'll try to explain better. You see a dA folder with 200 drawings, all of them comic pages, in order as they were published: the first drawing you see is page 200; the last drawing in the folder is page 1. So, when you use the SitBack feature, it shows you from page 200 to page 1: then you need to click 200 times the "previous" button in order to go to page 1 and start reading. That is not good.
Now you could say: "just go directly to page 1 and start reading!" But then I won't be using the SitBack feature! and that's all my fuzz about! :D
That feature is a wonderful tool to be used as a comic reader, except for the part you can't go directly to the first drawing in the folder.
I hope I could make my point clear.

Yes, that does make it clear. I thought the issue was that you started the slideshow at page 1, and then after getting so far you wanted to go back to page 1, not that you simply wanted to reverse the order. A "Start from End" might be more appropriate idea, since the feature won't know that a deviation called page 1 is the first one to show :shrug:

:iconhappyskipplz: Yes! Yes! The "Start from End" is wonderful and better!! That's it!! That's all I want! :iconcrycryplz:
However... how do you start the slideshow at "page 01" -or at the first published drawing, in any case-? I tried to do that in the folder I'm looking at. In a folder with 120 drawings, you don't see all 120 drawings, you see page 1 (page 1 of the folder of course) with 24 drawings, page 2... and so on, until last page, in this case, page 5. So I went to page 5, click SitBack... and it starts at drawing number 120, lolz.
