enumerate and itemize in latex

enumerate and itemize in latex

[Pedro Sa da Costa]

I know that this isn't the proper mailing list, but i can't find the 
answers for my simple latex questions.  Can anyone answer the following 
questions?

1- I want to enumerate the items starting from number 5 (not number 1). 
How this is possible?
For example, i want to enumerate the following:
5 - item 5
6 - item 6

2 - Is it possible to order alphabetically the items from itemize?
Ex.
 From this:

- item c
- item b
- item a

get:

- item a
- item b
- item c


Thanks for the attention.

Sincerily,
Pedro

Mark region and apply sort-lines.

$ sumascii BILL GATES
   B   I   L   L   G   A   T   E   S
  66+ 73+ 76+ 76+ 71+ 65+ 84+ 69+ 83 = 663

  and add 3 because he's Bill Gates the third.
