Markdown pro tip: long numbered list made easier
  1. One
  • Two
  • Three
  • Four
  • Five

But really easy to re-sort because the items aren't really numbered:

1. one
* Two 
* Three
* Four
* Five

As a note, you can also make all numbers 1, like this, it's my preferred method. :-)

@clozed2u's idea is nice.

also, using a separate number for each list will help you
keep your bearings as you navigate through a document.
