They're either going to list all the items in the index, or not, and that doesn't change with this addition we're discussing.  The only addition is ten words in the index, and ten words in the text itself.  There are no pages.  There isn't even an additional paragraph, aside from "these are not restricted to class, just tend to be associated with them" sentence.  It will be alphabetical within each of those five sections.  It's not that weird, it's been alphabetical by type of item (weapon, want, potion, etc..) or by body slot (feet, head, hands, etc..) in the prior editions, so simply listing it by character type (cleric, fighter, etc..) isn't that weird.I said both, in the two prior posts, and then a third time in the one you're replying to. Words.  Ten words, and a single sentence.It's not pages (and yeesh, the message you were replying to said outright it's not pages), and I explained that we're talking about a concept that WOTC seems to think their survey respondents and playtesters like.  Of course, it's not just for this organization of magic items, there are many other reasons people put forth, but I wanted to drill down on just one to demonstrate that, when push comes to shove, there might be something useful here in this concept.You said "just use the online index, it's better".  Which isn't using a book like a book, unless you're book is also a computer.And there are a lot of applications for this classification system beside just magic item organization.  But I was focusing on one concept to finally nail you down on one of these points and quit dismissing the whole concept out of hand.  We've made progress, you're not just mostly dismissing it.  Maybe we can move on to one of the other points now too...like how "this class is new to you, but you know it's sort of similar to that other class you are already familiar with because it's also a type of Rogue" is useful for new players who start with a Basic boxed set.</blockquote>
