In each column, any cage of N≥2 cells must contain a run of N consecutive digits sorted in descending order, starting from the top. Negative constraints apply, e.g. 8 cannot be immediately above 7 unless both cells are in the same cage. An example puzzle is provided in the 5x5 Latin Square on the right. The negative constraint does apply between two separate cages.
