I am not quite sure whether this should be covered by html at all. List numbering should be a matter of CSS I think. Using an <ol> only means that it's items are ordered, not in what way. There is a difference between ordinal value (which might be specified by the value attribute of an li element) and things like, say, ranking, score and numbering Regards, Rikkert Koppes Siemova wrote: > Daniel Glazman wrote: > > Usually, the answer is "because nobody uses it anyway...". > > > Perhaps so, but I certainly wouldn't say nobody wants to use > reverse-ordered lists.
