Sublist-Aware Sorter
Effortlessly organize your lists with the Sublist-Aware Sorter, a revolutionary tool designed to simplify your task management and note-taking experience. This innovative sorting solution caters to the unique needs of users who work with complex, nested lists, providing an efficient way to arrange and prioritize tasks, projects, and ideas in a clear, structured manner.
Sort your lists with nested sublists efficiently!
How It Works
The Sublist-Aware Sorter operates on a straightforward yet powerful principle: it recognizes and sorts not just individual items, but also sublists, which are groups of items indented under a main task or category. This is achieved through a simple formula:
- Identification: The tool identifies each item in your list, including those that belong to sublists, marked by indentation.
- Segmentation: The list is segmented into main items and sublists based on indentation.
- Sorting: Each sublist is sorted internally based on the user's preference for case sensitivity and sorting order (ascending or descending).
- Main List Sorting: The main list, including all sorted sublists, is then sorted based on the first item of each sublist or the single items, maintaining the overall structure and hierarchy.
To illustrate the versatility of the Sublist-Aware Sorter, consider the following examples of use cases and their corresponding sorting outcomes:
| Input List | Sorting Order | Case Sensitivity | Sorted List |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Item 1 - Subitem 1 - Subitem 2 |
Ascending | Insensitive | Main Item 1 - Subitem 1 - Subitem 2 |
| Main Item 2 - Subitem B - Subitem A |
Descending | Sensitive | Main Item 2 - Subitem B - Subitem A |
