Classified Lists

mxq says:
RTM arranges lists in English alphabetic order. And some special letters, such as *, @, etc, have priority than normal letters of a-z. I am using this function to classify lists and smart lists. Here is a part of my list names:
-------------------------------------------------
*_Today (smart list dueBefore:tomorrow)
*_Today@work (smart list to show today’s but not personal tasks)
*ThisWeek (smart list of this weeks task)
+Inbox_a (Tasks not assigned when and where)
+NextNext (Tasks that I may do or do not)
-Project-A (tasks related to Project-A, )
@_comp (tasks with computer/Internet)
@_office (tasks to be done in the office)
@_phone (tasks to call someone)
@home (tasks to be done at home)
[Calendar] (events rather than tasks such as My Birthday)
[WaitingFor] (tasks that I have requested someone to do)
_References (Reference data such as Task:English Kings with memo of the Kings’ names.)
_Shopping@book (shopping list of books)
_Visit (list of the places to visit)
-------------------------------------------------

I have longer list of lists/smart-lists and this classification and forced reoder using _ helps very much.
The magic order of the special letters is “ *, +, -, @, [, _, a-z”
