that mode of access (slicing from the end), because it's not possible to do it

Also, note that ``reverse()`` should generally only be called on a
``QuerySet`` which has a defined ordering (e.g., when querying against
a model which defines a default ordering, or when using
``order_by()``). If no such ordering is defined for a given
``QuerySet``, calling ``reverse()`` on it has no real effect (the
ordering was undefined prior to calling ``reverse()``, and will remain
undefined afterward).
