For example, I will explain with 'tasks about writing a book'.

Compare 'After' with 'Before'.

• Before) Original Tasklist. (Not Readable)
• After ) Tasklist following sortl. (Readable!)

With sortl, you can get the readable tasklist easily.

sortl consists of 3-step work flow simply.

• 1: Enumerate ... Write tasks with 1-task 1-line.
• 2: Prepend ... Write prefix to each line for sorting.
• 3: Sort ... Sort lines with some tool.

All you need to do is to enumerate your tasks, prepend prefixes, and sort lines repeatedly. In other words, follow the Sortl Cycle!
