It’s not clear to me how you want the lower list (ego to equality) to fit into the upper list. Are the lower list items all at the same hierarchical level as email and embryo in the upper list? Did any hierarchy of the lower list get lost in the email translation?
Could you show the result you want from those two list segments once merged? Is it only a matter of sorting while maintaining the whitespace indentation, or does merging need to shift some items' levels? > On Oct 8, 2022, at 1:57 PM, Matthew Bender <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm a photographer, and my experience sorting with GREP is incredibly > minimal.
