How can I reverse a list in python?

How do I reverse the order of a list:
eg. I have lines.sort(key = itemgetter(2))

that is a sorted list. What if I wanted that list exactly as it is ordered, but in reverse order?

Answer 1

lines.sort(key=itemgetter(2), reverse=True)

or if you just want to reverse the list

lines.reverse()

or if you want to copy the list into a new, reversed list

reversed(lines)
