The title doesn’t make any sense, so here goes:  
When I’m using a list of numbers block, and the ‘to’ number is smaller than the ‘from’ number (for example: list of numbers from 32 to 10), will the list count backwards (32, 31, 30…) or will Thunkable go berserk?

Just use **from** 30 **to** 1 **by** -1.

I haven’t tried it but see no reason why it shouldn’t work.
