Is there any way to chain checklists automatically so that they follow one another in a pre-defined order? This is to overcome the limitation imposed by having too many entries to put in a single list. An alternative, which may have further advantages, would be to have a tree structure of checklists, where one branch has to be completed before going back to the trunk and then on to the next branch. e.g. on cockpit entry I want to do a right to left sequence of checks, starting with the port side panel, going on to the port coaming, then the port instrument panel etc, covering the whole cockpit methodically. Each of these panels has up to a dozen checks. This is how the checks were actually organised (with a book of cards) on this particular aircraft. The cockpit entry checks were then followed by the start sequence, the after starting, the take off, after take-off, circuit ad approach /landing checks. The emergency checks also follow a tree structure, but in this case the next branch depends upon the result of a particular check. (e.g. did the engine relight within 20 seconds?)
