Count backward

Processor: intel

Can I somehow have a list that is counted backward instead of forwards? I want it to be sort of like
99. bla
98. bli
97. blu

So when I add a new line at the top of the list it counts up. Don't really know if I explained it clear enough, but it's the best I can do.

Probably more trouble than it's worth unless you have an impending need to
do so on a repetitive basis. The easiest is to type the numbers yourself
using a 2-column table - numbers in the first column, items in the second.
Add your new items at the bottom of the list then use Table> Sort -
Descending to put things in the order you want. The table can be formatted
to not have any Borders if you don't want it to look like a table when
printed & the Gridlines can be hidden for on-screen display.
