Change the arrangement of anchor points in a continuous line

How can I, or can I at all, change the order/overlay of the line at these two points (see screenshot)?
This should look like a spatial spiral.

Non actually, I want the darker line behind the brighter one, just where these parts overlap


If you are talking about a gradient along a path, cutting and rearranging the paths may produce some undesired results and things can get pretty complicated.

 

I would probably just use a compound clipping path to do it. See sample Illustrator file below.

Revert the path direction?

Thanks Monika, but that changes only the gradiant.

You'll have to cut the path.
