I’d suggest exploring the commands ‘Binsort,’ ‘Categorize’ [which I mistakenly called ‘Classify’ in a previous post], ‘Fence,’ and ‘Levelize.’ Try them out, read the indexed descriptions and the cross-refences.

To take an example: wouldn’t it be useful to efficiently set up a handful of categories and efficiently assign all of a long list of topics to its proper bin? This is what Binsort does.
