Description

Describe the feature you would like to see added

Hi, I was working on a live chat. I have to use the DataScroll loader for render older messages on the chat. When i press the button, i wii need the direction for new items go to the top, like the Whatsapp renderization. This is implemented on the PrimeFaces showcase, with the attribute of startAtBottom.
I think this will be a nice feature for this kind of work

Additional context

PrimeFaces JSF has startAtBottom: https://github.com/primefaces/primefaces/issues/342
