How It Works

The Sublist-Aware Sorter works by grouping your main list items and their sublists together before sorting. Here’s the breakdown:

  1. The tool reads your list line by line, identifying indentation levels to determine main items and sublists.
  2. It groups each main item with its corresponding sublists, ensuring they stay together during sorting.
  3. The main items are sorted in ascending or descending order, while their sublists remain aligned and intact.
  4. Finally, the sorted list is displayed, ready for you to copy and use wherever you need it.

For example, if you input:

- Task B
  - Subtask B.1
- Task A
  - Subtask A.1

The tool will sort it to:

- Task A
  - Subtask A.1
- Task B
  - Subtask B.1
