I want to use a for loop, but instead of iterating sequentially in ascending order, I would like to go in descending order. So for example,

for i = 5,1 do
	print("descending order #"..i)
end

How would I do that?

EDIT: Extensive googling gave me my answer.

for i = 5,1,-1 do --using iterations of -1
	print("descending order #"..i)
end

for var = start, end, step do

Use a negative value for step.

Literally found the solution only seconds before you posted, Lyqyd. But thanks anyway.
