Backwards/Reverse in "Direct" For Loop

Is there a way to back backwards in a "direct" for loop?

If I had the vector A = [1 4 7 8]

How would I make it where:

for i = 1:A

increments backwards starting from 8?

for k=numel(A):-1:1

k would have the values 4, 3, 2, 1 in turn. So indexing using A(k) you would be accessing A(4), A(3), A(2), and A(1) in turn.

I will try this and see if this works.

I just want my for loop to go from 8, 7,4, 1 when I am using k as a variable.

Nevermind. I can just use fliplr.
