These two things aren't related except by the idea of "reversing".

For the Open dialog, right-click in the file list and click View > Details.
Then click the Name heading at the top of the box; repeatedly clicking
switches between ascending and descending sort order. When it's ascending,
you can then right-click and choose the view you want, and the order will
stay.

For the printing problem, you may have reverse printing selected in the
printer driver, which is separate from Word's setting. In the Print dialog,
click the Properties button to get to the driver's options and look for a
"reverse" or "back to front" option that you can uncheck.
