Literal

Inversion [topic-は] words [possessive-の] front-and-back [object-を] swap [by-ことにより] sentence [object-を] emphasize effect [subject-が] exists.

倒置法 'inversion' is a literary/grammatical term. ことにより 'by means of doing' is a formal nominalizer + により (formal 'by'). The sentence itself is a dry grammar textbook definition, explaining the rhetorical device of inversion. Ironically, it's written in perfectly standard word order.
