Basically, I want to create a summary for a history class. Therefore a lot of years occur throughout the lectures.
Does LaTeX allow to sort a list if I set it up like in the following example?
\begin{description}
\item[1912] Something good happened
\item[1923] Something bad happened
\item[1901] Something terrible happened
\end{description}
Is it possible that LaTeX recognizes the number and reorders it correctly?
Desired output:
1901 Something terrible happened
1912 Something good happened
1923 Something bad happened
LaTeX is able to do so in the bib, so can it be extended somehow?
