I hadn't seen etaremune, but it looks just fine, definitely better if it
will work with lyx. I have tried to incorporate it in lyx. LyX output
gives me a pdf with the numbers increasing, like normal enumerate, and like
I get if I only run pdflatex once on the tex file. When I run pdflatex from
the command line twice I correctly get the reversed numbers.
This looks like the relevant line from the latex log file, telling latex it
needs to rerun:
LaTeX Warning: Etaremune labels have changed.
Rerun to get them right.
My module file looks like this:
#\DeclareLyXModule[etaremune.sty]{Etaremune}
#DescriptionBegin
#This package implements the etaremune environment which is similar
#to the enumerate environment, except that labels are decreasing
#instead of increasing. This package provides an alternative to the
#revnum package which uses a lot of counters. The style of lists
#can be controlled locally and globally. See for more information
#the pdf documentation of this package.
