Default Invert data order

I am trying to flip the data that i have in a column. I don't want them in
ascendent order or descendent order. I just want the bottom data to be at the
top and the top data to be at the bottom. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Default Invert data order

let's say we have data in A1 thru A30. In an un-used column enter:

=INDIRECT("A" & 31-ROW())

and copy down. Then take the helper column, copy it, and
paste/special/value back onto column A
