I've been making a classless rpg for a while now, in which characters are largely defined by the traits they take. These traits are currently organised alphabetically, which makes it easy to search. However, there are nearly 100 of them, and many have other traits as prerequisites, and it's getting a little out of hand.

What's your preferred way to organise lists like this?

I’ve been developing a TTRPG for around four or five years now. At this point, all of the major systems are complete, well-tested, and included in the current version of the rulebook.

Where I’m struggling now is deciding how everything should be ordered and how best to structure the book overall.

I realise this can vary quite a bit from game to game, so my question is: how did you approach structuring your rulebooks, particularly in terms of the order in which sections are presented to the reader?
