How to list things in writing?

Answer

There's a few ways of doing this. You're right to find other ways of ordering paragraphs, as "1stly, 2ndly, 3rdly" sounds a bit comical if you use it too much.

To start with, "In the first case..." or "first of all..." are good to start with.

if you're not numbering your points you could use  "Also", "In addition", or "plus," to start each paragraph.  For your last point, use "Finally..." to start the paragraph.

You could also use a 'bullet' format if you have a short list, with short notes.  For example,

- your first sentence goes here
- this is the next thing you could say
- and add something more here
- you could go on forever...
- but let's make this your final point.

Hope this helps! :)
