sort a list alphabeticaly without changing the original list

[Holmen]

When I try printing again, I don't get it in the regular order. How do I revert from reverse alphabetical to stock?

E.g:

sorted(countries, reverse=True)
['USA', 'Russia', 'Poland', 'Germany', 'China']

now... I get the reverse alphabetical order... Now, how do I get out of this variable and print the stock list again?

sorted(countries, reverse=True)
print (countries)

print ("\nHere is the original list:")
### I want the original here ###

---

locations = ['himalaya', 'andes', 'tierra del fuego', 'labrador', 'guam']

print("Original order:")
print(locations)

print("\nAlphabetical:")
print(sorted(locations))

print("\nOriginal order:")
print(locations)

print("\nReverse alphabetical:")
print(sorted(locations, reverse=True))

print("\nOriginal order:")
print(locations)

print("\nReversed:")
locations.reverse()
print(locations)

print("\nOriginal order:")
locations.reverse()
print(locations)

print("\nAlphabetical")
locations.sort()
print(locations)

print("\nReverse alphabetical")
locations.sort(reverse=True)
print(locations)

found out my book had a support site...
