In the video we are first writing an SQL Query which return 4 rows in descending order so the records are already coming as 132, 131, 130, 129. But then we are again reversing the order with array_reverse().won't this will make it back to 129, 130, 131, 132?

We used DESC to fetch the last 4 shirts, and the order of the fetch is 132, 131, 130, 129.
But in the front end, we want to display the most recent shirts by 129, 130, 131, 132.
Randy wanted to keep this order to maintain display out consistency to keep you having to keep track of which output order is from which block of code.
We can also use ASC and use additional maths to fetch the last four items and not having to use array_reverse, but this is easier.
