I'm trying to setup a list in inDesign and am wondering if there is a way to make multi-line points line up accordingly without forcing a break and inserting a tab character?

In the screenshot you can see the right side required a line-break and a tab to line up accordingly.



Following the indesign help:


Increase the First Line Indent value if you want the punctuation in
long lists to be aligned. For example, if you want “9.” and “10.” to
be aligned on the period, change the Alignment to Right and gradually
increase the first line indent until the numbers align (make sure
Preview is turned on).

To create the hanging indent effect, specify a positive Left Indent
value (such as 2p0), and then specify an equal negative value (such as
-2p0) for First Line Indent.


So in following this it still isn't well aligned as in the example:
