We can reverse the order of a list in Python by using the list.reverse() method.


        
        
            
                
                
                    animals = ['cat', 'doge', 'bird']
animals.reverse()
print(animals)
                
            
            ['bird', 'doge', 'cat']

Note that the list.reverse() method simply reverses the order of the list, it does not sort backward alphabetically. This is a permanent change to the order of the original list.
