How does the input xml looks like and how should the result xml look like? — Renatas M., Aug 06 '18 at 09:32
Update your question and add examples how it looks like and how you want the result will look like — Renatas M., Aug 06 '18 at 09:34
Also note: Reverse method RETURNS descendants in reverse order. — Renatas M., Aug 06 '18 at 09:40
then I should replace that descendant and then save, Is not it؟ — Muhammad Hassan, Aug 06 '18 at 09:54

I find that I should use ReplaceNode function to replace reversed nodes then save the file but reverse function not reverse the nodes inside the file, no it just return the new reversed values and I should replace them manually as the following

var fileDataXDoc = XDocument.Load("filePath");
                    var elems = fileDataXDoc.Descendants("node_to_be_reversed").Reverse();

                    int counter = 0;

                    foreach (var xElement in elems)
                    {
                        fileDataXDoc.Descendants("node_to_be_reversed).ElementAt(counter).ReplaceNodes(xElement.Nodes());
                        counter ++;
                    }

                    fileDataXDoc.Save("newReversedFile.xml");
