How do I reverse the bash history list?

Question

Example history:

$ history
1  whoami
2  pwd
3  ls

To get a reversed history list, I do:

$ history|tac
3  ls
2  pwd
1  whoami

But are there any better ways to do this, perhaps that needn't invoke another program, for those without tac installed, for example?

Answer 1

Since the owner of a separate answer deleted it, I'll suggest:

history | sort -rn

Answer 2

To list history in reverse order add -rl to fc command:

fc -rl

Obviously fc -l list in standard order. You can also specify the number of entries you want to see e.g. fc -rl -10.
