# Reverse

Reverses the order of the items in an array 

## Reverse
Given a sample.yml file of:
```yaml
[1, 2, 3]
```
then
```bash
yq 'reverse' sample.yml
```
will output
```yaml
[3, 2, 1]
```

## Sort descending by string field
Use sort with reverse to sort in descending order.

Given a sample.yml file of:
```yaml
[{a: banana}, {a: cat}, {a: apple}]
```
then
```bash
yq 'sort_by(.a) | reverse' sample.yml
```
will output
```yaml
[{a: cat}, {a: banana}, {a: apple}]
```
