I have a list with sublists list = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. I would like to reverse every other sublist, starting from the second one. The result would look like result = 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 8, 7. What would be a simple way to do this?

          Use MapAt, which accepts the same syntax as Part:



          MapAt[Reverse, list, 2 ;; ;; 2]
          (* 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 8, 7 *)

            Using Part and Span might not seem overly elegant but it is fast:



            list = RandomReal[-1, 1, 100000, 10];

            a = MapAt[Reverse, list, 2 ;; ;; 2]; // RepeatedTiming // First

            b = ReplacePart[list, i_?EvenQ :> Reverse@list[[i]]]; // RepeatedTiming // First

            c = Module[result = list,
            result[[2 ;; ;; 2]] = list[[2 ;; ;; 2, -1 ;; 1 ;; -1]];
            result
            ]; // RepeatedTiming // First

            a == b == c

            Another method is to use ReplacePart:



            ReplacePart[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
            i_ ? EvenQ :> Reverse@list[[i]]

              This will work



              list = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8;

              Table[If[EvenQ[i], Reverse[list[[i]]], list[[i]]], i, 1, Length[list]]

              (*1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 8, 7*)
