I think the following would be an example of a nest ordered list

<ol>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea
<ol>
<li>Black tea</li>
<li>Green Tea<li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ol>

Well you have an ordered list ( List 1 )

<ol>
  <li>Something</li>
  <li>List 1</li>
</ol>

and another ordered list ( List 2 )

<ol>
  <li>List 2</li>
  <li>Abc</li>
</ol>

When you replace "Something" (a string) in "List 1" with an ordered list "List 2" then "List 2" is nested in the original list "List 1".

<ol>
  <li>
    <ol>
      <li>List 2</li>
      <li>Abc</li>
    </ol></li>
  <li>List 1</li>
</ol>
