Property lists are a common way to display and edit object attributes. They are often organized alphabetically, which can lead to usability problems when the number of properties grows large. Two alternative property list designs, categorical lists and split lists, are presented. An experimental comparison found that categorical lists can reduce selection times by 62% for novice users, while split lists show potential for a 43% reduction.
