MC6 Retrograde function?

According to the help file, Music Creator should have some sort of retrograde function -- in the "Selecting and Editing Events" page, there's a list of functions for changing MIDI data, and one of the items in the list is
 

Reverse the notes in a clip to create new arrangements
 
Yet no such option shows up in the Process menu. I know I can change note velocities in the piano roll view, so is it possible I'm looking in the wrong place? Or does it come in the form of some sort of add-on or update?
 
Another likely possibility is that the help file was modified from that of another Cakewalk product and this bit of text was overlooked... From what I understand, this version of MC is based on Sonar X1. I certainly never remember seeing this functionality in MC4, and this seems to be the only mention of the feature in the help file.
 
So, is Music Creator supposed to have a retrograde feature, or is it just an oversight? I'm okay with manually reversing my notes for now, but if there is such a feature it would be very helpful.

(My apologies if I was supposed to add this to the end of my other topic; I couldn't find any Forum Rules topics that outlined the specific protocol for these kinds of things and the link in the Forum Terms of Service topic just took me to the forum's homepage, so I just assumed that since it was a different issue, it should be a different topic.)

    I am pretty sure it's there if they say it is in the specs and info on the web site.

    I have not used it so I'm not sure what to tell you about this concerning MIDI. 

    I do know that reverse audio is in there.... (at least I think it is) You have to select a clip first to reverse, then apply the function and waaa laaa it is reversed. 

    I've never had a song where I wanted to do that.... so I'm mostly guessing here and going from what I can recall about seeing the reverse audio function in the dropdown box in the past. 

    When I need specifics on a function I always hit F1 first and attempt to find it in the help manual.
