French term or phrase: dans l'ordre inverse de
Still from the contract I'm working on, under Voluntary advance payment:

Tout paiement anticipé s’imputera sur le Solde _dans l’ordre inverse_ des échéances.

Not quite sure what this means? I've put "counter to the schedules" for the time being, but there has to be something better.

Explanation:
Any prepayment will be applied against the Balance in reverse order with regard to deadlines.

In other words, the last deadline first.
