I believe the answer is:

rota

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'list eighteen' is the first definition.
'rota' can be an answer for 'list' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'eighteen' bit.

'letters in reverse order' is the second definition.
'rota' can be an answer for 'letters' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'in reverse order' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rota that I've seen before include "List of people to do job in turns" , "Repetitious canon" , "List of duties taken in turn" , "Task list, roster" , "Duty roster" .)
