How to reverse the ordering of list items in an unordered list

Question

Let\'s say I have an unordered list, like this:

  
Bald Eagle
  
Falcon
  
Condor<         


        

Answer 1

Manipulating the birdList doesn't re-order the elements because birdList is just a collection - a NodeList - which is independent of the DOM itself.

You actually need to get a reference to the

element and then use a combination of removeChild(...) and appendChild(...) - maybe insertBefore().
