Help changing axis direction with for loop plot.

Hello,
I am trying to graph data from excel with a for loop but I need to reverse and log my x axis. I figured out how to log the axis but trying to use set(gca,''XDir','reverse') does not work. It gives the error "Unable to use a value of type matlab.graphics.axis.Axes as an index.". Thanks for any advice. Here is also an example of what I'm looking to achieve as far as the axis is concerned.
data = xlsread('Field_Testing','GrainSize');
sz = size(data);
rows = sz(1);
colms = sz(2);
set1 = data(:,[1,2]);
c = {};
for j = 1:colms
if rem(j,2) == 0
set = data(:, [j-1, j]);
c{end+1} = set; %saves to end of each previous cell
end
end
figure()
for z = 1:(colms/2)
arr = c{z};
arr = rmmissing(arr);
x = arr(:,1);
y = arr(:,2);
p = semilogx(x,y);
set(gca,'XDir','reverse')
hold on
end
hold off

I'm not real sure how you would go about creating a 'reverse' log axis. Perhaps you could plot 1/x and then manually set the axis tick labels.
I do know for certain that you should never ever name a variable 'set' (like you did here: set = data(:, [j-1, j]);). This is probably the most common function name in Matlab. Overriding it with a variable will almost certainly break a lot of things, including the graphics routines that you need to make any kind of plot.
Oh ok, thanks for the tip I really appreciate it!
By reverse I mean I want the axis to plot in descending order. It should be in log scale as well but I already got that part with semilogx. Removing the vairable set seems to have fixed it! thanks again!
I'm glad that helped. As far as doing the 'reverse' log, you might try my idea of plotting 1/x instead of x and experiment to see if that gets you closer to what you want.
