Reverse order numbered list in html?

With HTML, you can make a numbered list by doing the following:
< OL >
< LI >apples
< LI >bananas
< LI >cranberries
< LI >oranges
< /OL >

Which appears like this:

apples
bananas
cranberries
oranges

But is there a numbered list in HTML where the numbers go in reverse order? Starting with the biggest number first and ending with 1?

not that i know of. what you refer to is basic HTML. probably you could make a customized list if you used XML or Javascript or something. i'm not as fancy-pants as that, myself. i'm still learning. there's always more to learn. why would you want a backwards list anyway?

I want a reverse order list for the top ten reasons to sit in a corner.

There's a JavaScript solution here: reversed HTML lists.
