How to manipulate first column and reverse the line order in third and fourth column?
How to manipulate first column and reverse the line order in third and fourth column as follws?

For example i have a original file like this:

file1
Code:
     0.00000000E+000    -1.17555359E-001     0.00000000E+000
     2.00000000E-002    -1.17555359E-001     0.00000000E+000
     4.00000000E-002    -1.17639683E-001     0.00000000E+000
     6.00000000E-002    -1.17655106E-001     0.00000000E+000
     8.00000000E-002    -1.17603991E-001     0.00000000E+000
     1.00000000E-001    -1.17488978E-001     0.00000000E+000

I want to
-manipulate first column
-reverse the line order in third and fourth column (I can already do that:
https://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/35832-reversing-order-lines-file-4.html
)
-remove last line.

-->file2:
Code:
     1.20000000E-001    -1.17603991E-001     0.00000000E+000
     1.40000000E-001    -1.17655106E-001     0.00000000E+000
     1.60000000E-001    -1.17639683E-001     0.00000000E+000
     1.80000000E-001    -1.17555359E-001     0.00000000E+000
     2.00000000E-001    -1.17555359E-001     0.00000000E+000

Finally I 'm going to merge these files.
