An ordered list is a sequence of items presented in a specific, meaningful order — typically numbered. Use cases, format, and best practices:

Purpose: Shows steps, rankings, procedures, priorities, or any content where order matters.
Common formats:
1. Numbered (1., 2., 3.)
2. Alphabetic (a., b., c.)
3. Roman numerals (I., II., III.)
When to use:
- Instructions or step-by-step guides
- Ranked items (best-to-worst)
- Processes with temporal or logical sequence
Writing tips:
- Keep items short and parallel in structure.
- Use numbers only when order adds meaning; otherwise use bullets.
- For complex items, include brief explanation under each numbered point.
- Start each item with a strong verb for instruction lists.
Accessibility:
- Numbered lists help screen-reader users understand sequence.
- Avoid embedding important order information only in visual cues (like color).
