plotting values in in reverse order

I would like to plot my X-axis values in the reverse direction. I mean if they are A= [ 0 1 2 3 4 5 ] Then instead of plotting them from 0 to 5 I would like to plot them from 5 to 0. I did plot(fliplr(x),y);set(gca,'xdir','reverse') and the labels of the x axis are reversed but the data is still plotted in the same direction. How can I reverse the direction in which the data is plotted?

THANKS! (o:

Set the x-axis direction 'XDir' to 'reverse':

Example:

x = 0:5;
y = 3 + 2*x;

figure(1)
subplot(2,1,1)
plot(x, y)
grid
subplot(2,1,2)
plot(x,y)
set(gca, 'XDir','reverse')
grid

how do I do it if I want to select an specific figure?

ex:

set(figure(3), 'XDir', 'reverse')

Error using matlab.ui.Figure/set
Unrecognized property XDir for class Figure.

@Ana Gonçalves 'XDir' is an axes property not figure

[Star Strider]

Following up on that —

x = 0:5;
y = 3 + 2*x;

figure(1)
subplot(2,1,1)
plot(x, y)
grid
subplot(2,1,2)
plot(x,y)
grid

Kids = figure(1).Children;
Kids(1).XDir = 'reverse';

NOTE — In this instance (using subplot) the second subplot is the first axes object.
