Q: Ordered list with hierarchy in Pages

I need to create an ordered list with hierarchy in Pages, and cannot figure out how to do it.

I want it to look something like this:

(1)

I also want it to work automatically when I tab forwards and backwards. Obviously, I can do this by setting the bullet style for every single line of text but that is very inefficient and frustrating. Is there any way to do this? In Word, it is super simple and is a basic option for creating lists. Please help!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Ordered list work much better in Pages '09, if you have it or can still get it.

I finally figured this one out, after many many trips to Google and the forums. It is stupidly simple: in the Format > Style pane in Pages 6.0 select the "Harvard" style list. It looks exactly as you describe above, and exactly as I have been wishing I could make lists look for a long time. I'm only embarrassed I didn't try all of the styles earlier, as I would have found this solution.
