Reversed numbered bullet points shown incorrect in reader mode

Steps to reproduce

Create a bullet point list with reverse numbered entries, i.e.

3. Third item
2. Second item
1. First item

This shows correct behavior in the live preview (although pressing enter will add a new bullet point with an incremented number, this number can be changed manually) but breaks in the reader mode, increasing the bullet points following the first number.

Live Preview shows:
live_preview

Reader Mode shows:
reader_mode

This behavior can also be observed in this forum. Entering

>3. Third item
>2. Second item
>1. First item

renders as

  1. Third item
  2. Second item
  3. First item

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes

Expected result

No change between live preview and reader mode when ordering bullet points in a decreasing numerical order

Actual result

Reader mode changes the numerical order, ignoring what the user entered on everything but the first bullet point

This is how ordered lists in the Markdown → HTML conversion work.

The number written in the editor (Source mode and Live Preview) can be anything; it doesn’t matter.
