Org supports a number of different types of lists.
- Minus sign is an unordered list - More stuff
Minus sign is your basic unordered list.
+ Plus sign is another type of list + More stuff
Plus sign mixes it up with another type of list.
1. Numbered lists are valid as well 2. More stuff
Numbered lists are also supported, but minimally. In true org mode lettered and numbered lists work. I do not have full support for switching from numbers to letters at this time.
- Item :: Definition
Definition lists are an orgmode thing. We can highlight them but do not have any powerful commands for this at the moment.
Checkboxes are also a sort of a mini todo item. They are very handy!
Numbered lists are always a pain to author. The list tools can use the standard recal command to reorder a list for you automatically.
In addition adding to a numbered list is supported by the OrgAppendNumberedList command.
Not nearly as powerful as emacs org mode sorting. The contents of lists can be sorted alphabetically by putting your cursor over an element in the list and then running
Org Sort List
