Please take a look at the enumerate.sty. Here is a tiny bit of example
that would help:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}[1.]
\item  test
\item  item
  \begin{enumerate}[2.1]
  \item test
  \item test
  \end{enumerate}
\item  test
  \begin{enumerate}[\textbullet]
  \item bullet
  \item another bullet
   \begin{enumerate}[\textbullet\textbullet]
    \item item with two bullets
    \item another item
   \end{enumerate}
  \item another bullet item
 \end{enumerate}
\item first level
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

\usepackage{revnum}

It defines {revenumerate} environment which provides what you wanted.
