Two-Column Column-by-Column Numbering?

[tinfanide]

Word by default does this:



/// This is a table with 4 cells \\\
1. Item 1 2. Item 3
3. Item 2 4. Item 4

But how could I do this:

/// This is a table with 4 cells \\\
1. Item 1 3. Item 3
2. Item 2 4. Item 4

I tried this post but it does not work.
