How do I use modulus with a reverse php loop?

Question

I'm trying to display a list of items in groups of 4. If I go from 1-10 in the for loop, it works great and I get the following output:

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10

I actually need to display them in reverse order from 10-1 in the same format

When I try the code in reverse order:

($sucid = 10; $sucid > 0; $sucid = $sucid - 1)

I get:

10 9 8
7 6 5 4
3 2 1

And the HTML layout is out of place compares to the output of the top

What I need is:

10 9 8 7
6 5 4 3
2 1

I know it's the modulus part that is wrong, but I am having trouble understanding how to change it when I go backwards

Just change your first two 1's to 0 and that should fix it for you — Liam Sorsby

You could keep the first for-loop (i.e. the one looping from 1 to 10) and instead of $sucid print 11-$scuid.
