To list files in reverse order using the ls command in Linux, you can use the -r option. Here’s an example:

ls -r

This command will list all files in the current directory in reverse order. You can also use other options with the ls command to customize the output, such as -l to include additional information, or -t to sort files by modification time. For example:

ls -lrt

This command will list all files in the current directory in reverse order, sorted by modification time with the most recently modified file shown at the bottom, and with additional information (permissions, ownership, size, and modification date) displayed for each file.
