Working with a Partial List
Many of our users are unaware of a feature we’ve had since the very beginning. For every feature except ‘Search and Replace’ we allow you to operate on only a section of your document, rather than the entire thing.
To operate on only part of your document, use your mouse to highlight what you want to work on. Then, select the sorting, cleaning, or labeling operation that you desire. We will process only the part of your document that you’ve highlighted, leaving the rest unchanged.
We use this a lot when sorting a list with a heading, by selecting everything except the heading, we don’t lose our heading into our list. We also use it for labeling. If we have a list of items that we wish to apply lables to, such as [work], [home], and [boat], then we can select the section of our list having to do with home, and then add the label [home] and so on.
Enjoy working with partial lists next time you use ‘Sort My List’.
