Not per se...

You will have to display frames in reverse order manually...

No, looks like the frame rate is fixed (in the fileformat)...

Again you will have to do this manually...

Accidentally there is a small stack on the contributor site of RR ;-)

Look for "The taming of the animated gif" down the page...

Maybe you already did :-)
