Lists around Catenda are sorted after the unicode values.
To find out what letters have which unicode values see this Wikipedia article.
For a quick overview of unicode characters see below:
1. Space ( )
Space is often not allowed as a first character but can be used in the models and documents section.
Although space ensures this will 100% always be the first in the list it is not recommended as a space in front of a word can look confusing to users.
2. ASCII Punctuation & Symbols
Half-width characters
!"#%&()*+-/
! is the second unicode character and is the best choice if you want to make sure your list item appears first in the list.
3. ASCII Digits
Numbers
0001
Numbers are sorted alphanumerically.
This means that the order can look weird if you have numbers of different length in a list:
1
10
11
12
2
20
21
22
To combat this add a 0 in front of numbers that are not very long.
00001
00002
00003
00004
00011
00111
00365
etc.
This will ensure your numbers end up in the correct order.
