Numbered Lists - Two Levels on One Line

Hi all.

I have a multilevel list to format, where in some cases there need to be two levels on one line. See screenshot:

Number 5 is fine, as the text on first line is all Level 1. But 6 is numbered (Level 1) and goes straight into an alphabetical list (Level 2). I've put a return in the example so I could still apply the Level 2 Paragraph Style, but it really needs to knocked up a line and be separated by a tab. Is there a way to achieve this while keeping it a properly formatted list using Paragraph Styles?

Hopefully this explains it, but let me know if it doesn't!

Thanks.

    well, in this case you can make only Level 1

    with Leading 0 and baseline shift equal with leading of Level 2

    Scratch my previous comments.. premio_oscar​ answer is correct.

    Baseline shift on a secondary or alternative level 2 paragraph style is the way to achieve this!

    It's actually an alternative Level 1 that works, as the that paragraph always has only one line.

    (a) is Level 2

    (b) and (c) are Level 2bis.

    you can do it but you have to made one paragraph style for level 2 with leading 0 (and, of course, without space before)

    Thanks, and nice try, but that won't work if there's more that one line in the paragraph.

    If only InDesign let us apply negative paragraph spacing...
