Reverse order words in a dynamic sentence

Question

I have several tags like this:

<a class="classCover" href="#">1 Comment</a>

I would like to do this reversing the order of the words:

Comments (1)

My function is this but is not working:

$('.classCover').each(function(){
    $(this).text().split(' ').reverse().join(' ');
});

Please, any idea?

Answer 1

You almost had it, except you're not doing anything with the result

$('.classCover').each(function(){
    $(this).text($(this).text().split(' ').reverse().join(' '));
});

Answer 2

try this.

$('.classCover').each(function(){

    var link = $(this).text().split(' ');
    $(this).text(link[1] + "(" + link[0] + ")");
});
