Alphabetical numbering needs to be changed, or another option added.

I use RTM to institute GTD. In doing this, I create a new list for every project. For each project I make a descriptive task with .. in front of it to bring it to the top, then I number everything after that, so when I brainstorm steps I can see where it fits and what previous things it depends on. RTM, instead of ordering numerically, orders alphabetically, which throws my lists into chaos and disarray. Having to look at:
1. Call X
10. Put in evelope
11. Send to Bank
2. Set up meeting.

As a workaround, you could pad your numbers with zeroes so they all have the same number of digits.

01. Call X
02. Set up meeting.
10. Put in evelope
11. Send to Bank

Or you could adopt an alphabetic sequence…

a
b
c
d

Or you could start at 100 if you don't like 01, or 001.

This idea is considered similar to "Support for numerical sorting of task names", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
