How I sort this correctly?

I can't sort the list in backwards.

How can I iterate over it with map?

maps.py 
backwards = [
    'tac',
    'esuoheerT',
    'htenneK',
    [5, 4, 3, 2, 1],
]

def reverse(i):
  return sorted(i, reverse=True)

forwards = map(reverse, backwards)

I think the reverse function needs to read:

def reverse(i): return i[::-1]
