Understanding reverse sorting

Getting Help
1

There is probably something really simple I’m missing here but I can’t get my head around how reverse sorting works.

https://golang.org/pkg/sort/#example_Reverse

To sort a slice, I do:

sort.Sort(myslice)

But to sort in reverse I have to do:

sort.Sort(sort.Reverse(myslice))

From the docs, “Reverse returns the reverse order for data.” so shouldn’t sort.Reverse sort in reverse order and then sort.Sort put the slice back into normal order again? Instead if I just do sort.Reverse nothing appears to happen.
