How to Index and Order Lists?

Updated yesterday

In many places throughout the software lists will automatically be sorted alphabetically. If there is not a blue button to the right that allows you to drag the listed items into your preferred order, you can use the following to force the order you would prefer.

  • Special characters, for example ‘! @ #’ to ensure an item is always at the top of a list.

  • Letters of the alphabet to ensure the order of items follow alphabetically, for example A - Z.

  • Numerical digits to ensure the order of items follow numerically, for example 01 - 10.

Tip


If you opt for numerical order, and have more than 9 items in your list, you will want to start your numbering with 01., 02., 03., etc.
