How to reverse the <OL> </OL list?

larry · June 27th, 2007, 01:57 PM

<OL>
<LI> Milk
<LI> Bread
<LI> Butter
</OL>

Rendered this is:

1. Milk
2. Bread
3. Butter

Hos do I make it like this using the ordered list format?

3. Butter
2. Bread
1. Milk

Hi there,

As far as I know, there's no way to make the list number items in reversed order. However, you can set the value attribute on the <li> element to accomplish the same thing:

Code:

<ol>
  <li value="3">Milk</li>
  <li value="2">Bread</li>
  <li value="1">Butter</li>
</ol>

May require some code if you're not manually defining just a few items.

Cheers,

Imar
