:g/^/m0
This is particularly useful for files that are in chronological order such as logs or email mbox files. Thanks to Skyler for submitting the tip.

Or you could filter the file through "tac" (the opposite of "cat") by :%!tac.
This assumes you have the GNU coreutils on your path. Windows users will need Cygwin or something comparable.
Great tip. Now if only I could remember it, rather than visiting this site once a month.
