Put a listing back into an order that carries meaning, moving items only.
仅通过移动条目,让列表恢复为具有意义的顺序。

Goal

目标

A listing's order is information: kin sit together, and the sequence follows one axis a reader can feel. Order drifts — items get appended where they were written, not where they belong — until the sequence tells the reader nothing.
reorder
realigns the set under a single, nameable principle so the order reads as intentional again. It is fast and single-purpose: it moves items, and changes nothing else.
列表的顺序本身就是一种信息:同类内容放在一起,且顺序遵循读者能够感知的某个维度。但顺序会逐渐混乱——条目被添加到编写时的位置,而非它们应处的位置——直到这种顺序对读者毫无意义。
reorder
功能会按照单一、可明确命名的原则重新调整内容集合,让顺序再次显得具有目的性。它高效且功能单一:仅移动条目,不做任何其他修改。

Workflow

工作流程

  1. Pin the listing and its items — the ordered set in focus.
  2. Name the principle that makes the order carry the most meaning: workflow or lifecycle sequence, dependency, grouping by kind, severity, frequency, or plain alphabetical. If the set already has a latent order, surface and finish it rather than imposing a new one.
  3. Cluster kin adjacent, then sequence the clusters by that one principle.
  4. Move items into the new order in place. Reword nothing; add and remove nothing.
  5. If the same set is mirrored elsewhere — a translated copy, a second surface — apply the identical order to each.
  1. 确定目标列表及其条目——即需要处理的有序内容集合。
  2. 确定最能赋予顺序意义的原则:工作流或生命周期顺序、依赖关系、按类别分组、严重程度、频率,或是简单的字母顺序。如果内容集合本身已存在潜在的顺序,应将其明确并完善,而非强加新的顺序。
  3. 将同类内容归为一组,然后按照选定的原则对各组进行排序。
  4. 将条目调整为新的顺序。不修改措辞,不添加或删除任何内容。
  5. 如果同一内容集合在其他地方有镜像版本(如翻译副本、另一展示页面),需为所有版本应用完全相同的顺序。

Rules

规则

  • Reorder only. Never reword, add, remove, split, or merge an item; those are other reflexes.
  • One principle, and a reader can name it. Do not blend incompatible sorts into one listing.
  • Respect a deliberate order. If the current sequence already encodes a real principle, complete and tidy it rather than replacing it; surface the call when it is unclear.
  • Keep mirrored copies in lockstep — the same set on different surfaces gets the same order.
  • Mutate with edit-safety: assert each item exists before moving it (report a MISS, never a silent drop), edit unicode-safe, and script a large structural move rather than sweeping by hand.
  • 仅进行重新排序。绝不修改条目措辞、添加、删除、拆分或合并条目;这些属于其他操作范畴。
  • 遵循单一原则,且读者能够明确说出该原则。不得在同一列表中混合使用不兼容的排序方式。
  • 尊重刻意设计的顺序。如果当前顺序本身已遵循明确的原则,应完善并整理该顺序而非替换它;若原则不明确,则需先明确原则。
  • 保持镜像版本的顺序一致——同一内容集合在不同展示载体上需使用相同的顺序。
  • 确保编辑安全性:移动条目前确认每个条目都存在(若缺失需报告MISS,绝不静默丢弃),支持Unicode安全编辑,对于大规模结构调整应使用脚本而非手动操作。

Verification

验证

  1. A reader can name the ordering principle from the result alone.
  2. Every item that was there is still there — only positions changed; nothing reworded, added, or removed.
  3. Kin are adjacent and the sequence follows the one principle end to end.
  4. Every mirrored copy of the set carries the identical order.
  1. 读者仅通过结果就能说出排序原则。
  2. 所有原有条目都保留——仅位置改变;未修改措辞、添加或删除任何内容。
  3. 同类内容相邻,且整个顺序始终遵循单一原则。
  4. 内容集合的所有镜像版本都使用完全相同的顺序。
