:nth-last-of-type() Back

• The :nth-last-of-type() is a CSS pseudo-class selector that allows you to select elements of the same type based on their index (source order) inside their container, starting from the last element upwards.
• It's more specific than nth-last-child().
• You can also pass positive number, predefined keywords(even, odd) and formula to nth-last-of-tpye() like nth-last-child().

• There is a pseudo-class selector that has a similar functionality to that of :nth-last-of-type(), that selector is the :nth-of-type() selector. :nth-of-type() is similar to :nth-last-of-type(), except that instead of iterating through the elements from the last one, it starts iterating from the first one downwards.
