倒转 (dào zhuǎn) — to reverse (direction, order); to go against (reason, common sense)

Definition

倒转 means to reverse direction or order (physical movement, a sequence, or a process). It also takes a figurative sense ('go against common sense') — closer to 颠倒 than to 改变, which means simply 'to change'.
