Last position of an object in list - simmer - Aug 18, 2021

How can I fetch the last position of an item in a list?
index() references the first position…

PHP Code

<?php 
my_list = [{},{},{}]

last = my_list[-1]

Code
len(yourList) - 1

Pretty sure this works.

This returns the last item, not the index.
