Bottom to top <ul> element arrangement

I'm trying to find out how I can force elements to start from the bottom going to the top.

I have searched through stackoverflow and I can't seem to get the answer that i need. This picture should explain it:

How do you arrange vertical elements?

Use the position property with the “relative” value for the parent element to place it relative to its normal position. Use the position property with the “absolute” value for the child element to place it relative to its positioned parent element. Add the height, margin-top, top, border, and width properties.

What is top bottom left and right in CSS?

The top and bottom properties specify the vertical offset from its normal position; the left and right properties specify the horizontal offset. An absolutely positioned element is an element whose computed position value is absolute or fixed .

When we use top left right bottom property?

An element with position: fixed; is positioned relative to the viewport, which means it always stays in the same place even if the page is scrolled. The top, right, bottom, and left properties are used to position the element. A fixed element does not leave a gap in the page where it would normally have been located.

Does CSS read top to bottom?

The foundation of writing efficient CSS is knowing how browsers parse selectors. The common assumption is that CSS is parsed from left-to-right just as we read English. In reality, browsers use bottom-up parsing for enhanced efficiency, which in plain language means your selectors are read from right-to-left.

A css solution fiddle

ul, ul li {
-webkit-transform: scaleY(-1);
   -moz-transform: scaleY(-1);
    -ms-transform: scaleY(-1);
     -o-transform: scaleY(-1);
        transform: scaleY(-1);

}
ul {
    width: 350px;
}
 li {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 70px;
    zoom: 1;         
    *display: inline;
}

This works by flipping the entire UL and then each LI on it's Y axis.
