If there is an \"order\" May also be said \"decreasing order\"
If it is about a continuous process you would simply say \"in a decreasing manner\" or \"decreasingly\".

Descending or decreasing order would normally be "par ordre décroissante". The full sentence would clarify this point.

I think if it\'s a charge, it would be \"by decreasing amounts\". In the same way interest on the decreasing capital sum also decreases proportionally.
