Catalogues tips for tomorrow

Anchor the extremes. Place the item you are sure is first and the one you are sure is last, then fill the middle.
Read the hint literally. “By number of holes” means counting, not size. Take the hint at face value.
Group before ordering. Sort the items into rough tiers, then order within each tier.
