This is a significant point. It can often matter whether you count down from the top or up from the bottom. Imagine an company with 10 grades. You can have 12 entry-level grade 10 call center workers reporting to a grade 9 team supervisor who is among 5 in the same grade reporting to an grade 7 or 8 manager. Conversely you can have a CEO with 5 executive VPs, over a CFO with 4 grade 3 Senior VPs including the company auditor with only a handful of professional accountants and no reprts below them.
