You can. :)

It would keep the reversed ORDER BY clause and do all the paging in
reverse until user selectes the "First" option or reaches the first
record (less than 51 records returned).

The only problem I had with this approach is that you cannot tell the
user "where is he" while navigating with backward ORDER BY. So instead
of showing numbers like 2 3 4 5 6, I actually show arrow graphics,
something like this:

first << < | > >> last

<< means 2 pages back, < means 1 page back, etc.
