Number reversal game

Number reversal game
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Given a jumbled list of the numbers 1 to 9, show the list then ask the player how many digits from the left to reverse. Reverse those digits, then ask again, until all the digits end up in ascending order.

The score is the count of the reversals needed to attain the ascending order.

Note: Assume the players input does not need extra validation.
