Numbering, pros and cons
This thread is now six years old, and still no numbering. I can see both sides.
The cons: It sounds like a simple feature but can be fiendishly difficult to implement manage, and can make workflowy about as pleasant as wrestling with Microsoft Word. Workflowy's beauty is its simplicity, and should stick to that.
The pros: We need it. People need this for communicating step-by-step instructions. I suspect many more people want this feature than actively ask for it. People aren't asking for it because they assume it would be available in any modern outlining tool.
I will lean towards yes, though, because it's 2023 and there's no excuse not to have it.

I often add numbering Pros and Cons prefixes manually. Obviously, they won't automatically sort, and it's quite a tedious thing to do. Having native Workflowy "Types" for that would be awesome.
I use ⊕ as a prefix for pros and ⊖ as a prefix for cons. Often, even add a green color to the ⊕ prefix and a red color to the ⊖ one.
