Description

I have looked through documentation and code and it doesn't seem possible. I have a function which reads [ranger](https://github.com/ranger/ranger) bookmark file and I would like to retain the same bookmark index. I am adding `index` to the table but it is not honored. is this possible?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the custom-list documentation and code, then trace how the `index` field is handled and compare it with ranger bookmark indexes. Done means establishing whether custom indexes can be retained and, if support is intended, defining the expected behavior and validating it with a regression test.
