How to reverse the direction of a river?

1	I have drawn a river, but in the wrong direction (from sea to source). Is there a way to reverse it? Or do I have to re-draw it? direction river asked 20 Jul '14, 13:30 Nicolas Raoul 645●17●25●33 accept rate: 20%

If using the iD editor just click on the river, and push the << button (with the tooltip "Make this line go in the opposite direction").

In the menu of your editor should be a button reverse ways, in P2 theres an Arrow in the little menu, in JOSM its R reverse point and select the way and make your pick even ID should have a similar selecton or just ask reverse in the help menu.
