Absolutely great advice. I'm learning new tricks.
I have gone back to putting the <$paranum> in the LOF, which is sufficient.
Thanks again

Others have already replied with lots of good advice. I'll just add
that a work-around, if you want to sort the list you have, would be to
convert it to a table, one cell per paragraph, and then sort the table.
It's a maintenance headache of course, nothing automated about it, but
it would accomplish what you ask.

If it makes things work more easily, why isn't it called lubrican?
