get last 10 rows from txt file and sort

Question

I get the last 10 lines from the TXT file like this:

a_file = open("log.txt", "r")
lines = a_file.readlines()
last_lines = lines[-10:]

Get the answer like this:

c
d
e
f
g

How do sort the result so that last line is on top?

g
f
e
d
c

Answer 1

Use reversed() to read a file line by line backwards:

a_file = open("log.txt", "r")
lines = a_file.readlines()
for line in reversed(lines):
    print(line)
