Can you sort the following short names in reverse alphabetic order?

Input: 'Jan Sam Ann Joe Tod'

The short names in reverse alphabetic order are: 'Tod', 'Sam', 'Joe', 'Jan', 'Ann'

To sort the list of short names in reverse alphabetical order, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Split the input string into a list of short names.

Given input: 'Jan Sam Ann Joe Tod'

Split into a list: ['Jan', 'Sam', 'Ann', 'Joe', 'Tod']

Step 2: Sort the list in alphabetical order.

Sorted list: ['Ann', 'Jan', 'Joe', 'Sam', 'Tod']

Step 3: Reverse the sorted list.

Reversed list: ['Tod', 'Sam', 'Joe', 'Jan', 'Ann']

So, the final output with the given input 'Jan Sam Ann Joe Tod' is ['Tod', 'Sam', 'Joe', 'Jan', 'Ann'].

The names are first sorted in alphabetical order, and then the sorted list is reversed to obtain the names in reverse alphabetical order.
