What Reverse a List can do:

The Reverse a List tool flips the order of your content line by line. If you’re working with logs, sequences, to-do items, or steps that need to be inverted, this makes it dead simple. And with the Reverse Characters toggle, you can flip each individual line’s text as well so “apple” becomes “elppa.” It’s perfect for reversing data for scripts, fixing sort orders, or even playing with palindromes. It works live and fast, and there’s no extra setup. Just paste, reverse, and go.

Example:

Input:

First line  
Second line  
Third line  
Fourth line  
Fifth line

Output:

Fifth line  
Fourth line  
Third line  
Second line  
First line

Common Use Cases:

The Reverse List Tool flips lines of text from bottom to top, making it ideal for reversing data sequences, reordering to-do lists, inverting logs, flipping ordered content, preparing text for data processing, and creating reversed views for writing, analysis, or development work.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

After flipping your list, Mirror a List adds a nice visual touch if you’re building something symmetrical or reflective. And if you’re cleaning up data before reversing, Trim List Items helps remove clutter so the final output looks clean and intentional.
