Lists will appear in your drop-down menu … just like Groups.

•Lists are automatically alphabetized but if you do research in more than one area, your focus areas will all be mixed in together.

•Ideally, it would be nice to have folders for each sub-topic area. But they don’t exist.

Here’s a work-around that will do the trick…

Alphabetize Your Diigo Lists by Focus Areas

Rename Your lists. Use the Focus Area name, followed by / … to create a sub-folder.
