Custom horizontal alignment in multicols environment

Question

If I utilize the two columns of multicols for my Kurdish sequence of numbers, it arranges the items in column like the following figure:

But I want to arrange the items in rows splitted by some columns (two columns in this case) alike the following figure:

And for the case of "three columns", the output would be alike the following figure:

How may I achieve the functionality? And I don't want to use the sequence of the following commands:

\begin{multicols}{2}‎
\begin{enumerate}[$1)$,noitemsep]
\item ‎
Yek
\item ‎
Du
\end{enumerate}
\end{multicols}‎

Instead, I want to specify the split count of the columns and then have the items arranged in the desired arrangement automatically. For the record, I've check this post, but it's too generalized.

Answer 1

The enumerate environment is designed to enumerate downwards, not from left to right.

There are some packages for this, e.g. paralist or the sophisticated task package.

E.g. say \begin{task}(2) etc. for 2 columns, the \task command does what \item does for enumerate.

The counter-format=tsk[1]) option will use arabic numbers with a closing ), the label-width and label-align options are self-explanatory (in my point of view).

\documentclass{article}

\def\MYNUMOFCOLUMNS{2}

\usepackage{tasks}
\begin{document}
\begin{tasks}[counter-format=tsk[1]),label-width={3ex},label-align=right](\MYNUMOFCOLUMNS)
\task Yek
\task Du
\task Se
\task Chuar
\task Penj
\task Shash
\task Havt
\task Hasht
\task Noh
\task Dah
\end{tasks}

\def\MYNUMOFCOLUMNS{3}

\begin{tasks}[counter-format=tsk[1]),label-width={3ex},label-align=right](\MYNUMOFCOLUMNS)
\task Yek
\task Du
\task Se
\task Chuar
\task Penj
\task Shash
\task Havt
\task Hasht
\task Noh
\task Dah
\end{tasks}
