How can I find the order of a function defined on a symetric group?

I have the following question, but don't know how to start for finding order of a function defined on a symetric group.

Question:

Consider the symetric group $S_X$ on the set $ X = \mathbb{R} - \{0, 1\}$. Let $f$ be the function defined by the following rule

$f(x) = (x-1)/x$

for all $x \in X$. Show that $f \in S_X$, and find the order of $f$ and the inverse of $f$.

I feel like the order of $f$ should be infinity but I am not sure.
