I'm pretty sure that'll reverse the whole string, not the list elements, so you if you started with ["ab, "cd", "ef"], you'd end up with ["fe", "dc", "ba"], rather than the correct ["ef", "cd", "ab"]. I don't know if it would work correctly with dates either, since they'd be converted to strings, but wouldn't be converted back to dates. The Collections.sort method, on the other hand, doesn't touch the objects, so neither problem would exist.
