If the numbers are part of the same list, they are always going to number
across, then down. You can achieve separate lists using SEQ fields (with
different identifiers), but if you want the list to be continuous, you'd
have to set a start value for each column.

Alternatively, if the table can be configured as a single column, then you
can put the table itself into snaking (newspaper-style) columns, and the
numbering will then follow the desired sequence.

Your last suggestion sounds like the easiest to implement.

Thanks.

P.S. If anyone at Microsoft is listening the option to number across or down
should be implemented. You'd think that down would be default as that is how
lists are numbered--down one column and then across and down the next
column.
