I'm looking for a term that are like a palindrome but for whole set of words and not just letters

Examples:

Set 1

You do?
Do you?

Set 2

Venture Capital
Capital Venture

Set 3

List Item

I've searched through the old questions and also googled quite a bit, but couldn't get a definitive answer. "Chiasmus" was a close one, but I'm not sure if it is the correct answer.

Also, thank you in advance since the comments form suggest that I avoid telling thanks in comments.

My French friend who regularly used to say "baggy dog" just couldn't understand why that didn't work. – Isabel Archer Jun 13 '20 at 14:15
Also asked before: a word for a text with meanings read in both directions. The thing to do is to offer a bonus at the original, not ask exactly the same question again. – Edwin Ashworth Jun 13 '20 at 14:17
They remind me of the term used for a tool to pick, or manipulate, a lock. I call it a lock pick but the term of use is a pick-lock. – Elliot Jun 14 '20 at 04:30
