I was looking for a way to create a numbered list of items but I wanted the the numbering of items to be in reverse order (not 1., 2., 3., … but 3., 2., 1.). I thought that I would need to go deep into LaTeX internals and play with counters in the enumerate environment. However, a quick search revealed not one but two packages that do just that: package etaremune and package revnum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the end I settled for package etaremune<\/a> because of its simplicity when compared to package revnum. If you look carefully, you will seee that etaremune<\/strong><\/em> is the reverse of enumerate<\/strong><\/em>. And the package does just that.<\/p>\n

It creates a numbered list of items where the top item is NOT numbered “1” but takes the last number of the list. Because of this, you need to run LaTeX twice: the first time to find the last item; the second time to set everything properly.<\/p>\n

There is an optional choice to set the start item and you declare it with the
\n\\begin{etaremune} command as follows:<\/code><\/p>\n

\\begin{etaremune}[start=5]<\/code>
\n\\item<\/code>
\n\\item<\/code>
\n\\item<\/code>
\n\\item<\/code>
\n\\item<\/code>
\n\\end{etaremune}<\/code><\/p>\n

Thanks to Hendri Adriaens for his etaremune package and kudos to his sense of
\nhumor (for naming his package as such).<\/p>\n
