Explain the problem as you see it
The option to have numbered lists in Tana that automatically renumber when the order of nodes is changed would be tremendously useful.
Why is this a problem for you?
I frequently number my lists since I am making plans and steps. I reorder the steps a lot but I would like to still be able to have the numbers automatically correct when I change the order of nodes.
Suggest a solution
Maybe all subnodes of a node could be toggled as a numbered list.

I came across wanting this today while listing the steps needed to configure a server.
I use this feature extensively in my prior note taking tools, so I hope it gets some love.
I lead several meetings a week over Zoom where I share my screen while taking notes in Tana. Having numbered items provides a way for meeting participants to easily identify topics and notes. (e.g., "You misspelled xyz in number 4.")
While wanting numbered nodes, I would not like to lose the current bullet representations with the colors and solid/dashed outlines. So, I'm not sure if an implementation could support both and if so whether it would be too cluttered.
I think the Twos app gives us some great ideas on how to elegantly solve numbered lists in Tana. Read more (point 1).
Example: I have a goal to complete recordings of 48 songs in the coming year. I am creating a list numbering them. Sometimes the order changes. Right now, it is tedious to re-number manually.
I am writing instructions to someone else and would love to have numbers to help represent steps.
