The :nth-last-col() CSS pseudo-class is designed for tables and grids. It accepts the An+B notation such as used with the :nth-child selector, using this to target every nth column before it, therefore counting back from the end of the set of columns. The values odd and even are also valid.

/* Selects every odd column in a table */ :nth-last-col(odd) {   background-color: pink; } 

Syntax

The nth-last-col pseudo-class is specified with a single argument, which represents the pattern for matching elements.
