Beautiful way :

(function hideNext(jq){
        jq.eq(0).hide("slow", function(){
            (jq=jq.slice(1)).length && hideNext(jq);
        });

})($('a'))

last first :

(function hideNext(jq){
                jq.eq(jq.length-1).hide("slow", function(){
                    (jq=jq.slice(0,length-1)).length && hideNext(jq);
                });

})($('a'))
