Display ordered list in descending order

[Deepa]

Hi..I understnad that Code:<ol><li> Car</li><li>Bus</li><li>Train</li></ol>will display 1.Car2.Bus3.TrainI want the lists to appear decending order as in3.Car2.Bus1.TrainThe logic is "Train"-- was added first, and the most recent addition-- "Car" is shown at the topNow these lists are added dynamicaly .. so i cannot use the <li value=#></li> manually for all the list itemsAny help is great helpThank youDeepa

If the page is dynamic and you are using a database. I would suggest ordering them by decending order when you access the database.

Even if they are pulled from an array, you need to sort the array some how and massage the sort order and the count of elements in the array. It doesn't need to be a DB thing.The first item would be value = $count, the next is value = $count minus 1, etc. And most likely, use an un-ordered list and include the value a an echo'd part of the <li>. (or <tr><td>)

Actullay I am tryoing to use this in my blog tempalteBy default.. the blog posts are not numbered,,, i was able to locate and add numbers to the posts..Since the posts are displayed in Latest post first.... i want the numbers to appear in decending order..

Then you would need to read the list of blog entries into and array, for example, and manage the mathematics using php, or ASP?That could work.
