Warning: I'm using an ancient version of rt2; locations in file may have
changed.

Look at $RT/WebRT/html/Tickets/Elements/ShowHistory, which does:

  %while (my $Transaction = $Transactions->Next) {
      <& ShowTransaction, ... &>
  %}

(I've trimmed significantly.)

You can just (conditionally) reverse the order of the transactions.
Replace the while line above with something like this:

  % my @transactions;
  % while (my $Transaction = $Transactions->Next) {
  %     push @transactions, $Transaction;
  % }
  % # $ARGV{'reverse'} is your parameter indicating reverse history order
  % if ($ARGS{'reverse'}) {  
  %     @transactions = reverse @transactions;
  % }

  % foreach my $Transaction (@transactions) {

And then continue with the rest of the template.
