How could one get the lists to work?

It is a truth universally acknowledged that lists in Scrivener are akin to “unstable dynamite” and do not work if they require any editing of the finished list. You can compose to a list, and all may be well. But if you need to change the item order, or change item indents, or undo and then redo any of those changes, all bets are off.
