the other way round
In opposite order
The other way round describes a reversal of position, order, or relationship between two things.
If you thought A caused B but it's the other way round, then B caused A.
The phrase also indicates physical reversal: You've got your shirt on the other way round.
Chiefly British; Americans tend to say "the other way around."
