Get Paginate to count up

[teamcoltra]

I've looked through the docs, I am currently using the default Jekyll Paginate system but I want to change for a bunch of reasons but the number one is that I want pagination to count upwards. To me it makes sense logically the oldest is one and the newest is let's say page 5. However, it also makes sense from an optimization point of view that if we start at 1 then when we add page 5 we only have to update page 4.

I am sure I'm just not looking up the right term to do this because I can't even find someone else asking to do the same thing.

I was wondering if anyone could help me on this?
