If I understand well your patch, I see a couple of issues with it, that should not be hard to correct. - you removed the code allowing to use [@start:number] in a list; - even if you recognize a. and A. lists, you only reorder from a. to z. (bullet start is 1- ?a, not 1- ?A); - what happens when user wants to insert the 27th item in his alphabetically ordered list ? In other words you should have a function to increment such list from z. to aa. Regards, -- Nicolas
