Satirical technique - Reversal

A reversal is -

To present the opposite of the normal order. Reversal can focus on the the order of events, such as serving dessert before the main dish or having breakfast for dinner. Additionally, reversal can focus on hierarchical order—for instance, when a young child makes all the decisions for a family or when an administrative assistant dictates what the company president decides and does. 

Example: 

When a princess goes to save the prince, instead of vice versa.
