How to loop in descending order

[Jose Sanz]

I would like how I could loop in reverse order using forvalues or any other way.

I would like to loop from a big number to a small number: As an illustration, something like this:

forvalues 7(-1)2 {
stata commands
}

You are almost there!

forvalues i= 7(-1)2 {
    display "Number `i'"
    }
