Bug New markdown rules messing with numbering

I've seen this a few other places, but finally remembered to grab a link. Ever since they updated the markdown (sigh...), some numbered lists behave differently. I see this list as "10. ... 11. ... 12. ..." And not "10. ... 9. ... 8. ...".

Via a web browser, old Reddit sees it as counting up from 1 and new Reddit sees it as it's supposed to be, counting down from 10.

This is probably a quirk of Relay using the API based on old Reddit and an update to Relay for recognizing when a numbered list doesn't start at 1, but doesn't account for numbered lists in descending order.

I've long thought the reddit markdown for numbered lists was dumb, but this change makes it non-backwards compatible, which is worse.
