Posteriorly

Does this sentence make sense


"I initially thought of this... and posteriorly I also considered that..."


(Can the adverb 'posteriorly' be used in this context?)


Note: Oh, and by 'posteriorly', I mean at a later date.

I never hear that word used with that meaning. The predominant meaning is 'the buttocks ' so you will sound a bit silly if you say it. I suggest you just avoid this word altogether.
