Instructions for use

While in edit mode, select the list you would like to sort, and hit Ctrl+Alt+S. Bam! Just like that.

Good example.
* Good item 3
* Good item 2
** Good item 21
*** Good item 211
* Good item 1

Y Good. Select only the list.

Bad example.
* Okay item 1
* Okay item 2
** Okay item 21
*** Okay item 211
* Okay item 3

N Bad. Don't select anything outside the list!

Bad example.
* Fine item 1
*** Bad item ??
** Bad item ??
***** Bad item ??
* Okay item 2

N Bad. This list is broken, and your browser will be too if you try to sort it. Jokes, but don't try it.
