The way that Markdown number lists work (on Lemmy) is that they take the first number in the list and then count up from there regardless of what you actually type for the subsequent numbers. Your options are either putting the list in ascending order or doing away with numbered list formatting entirely by escaping the periods like so:
12\. Doofus 12
11\. Doofus 11
and so on, which looks like this:
12. Doofus 12
11. Doofus 11
Note that you’ll need to add two spaces to the end of each line to get line breaks if you take this approach (you can copy from my comment’s source below by clicking the little page icon under my comment)
