Attention workers, we have completed our evaluation of the plant. We regret to announce the following lay-offs, which I will read in alphabetical order:

  • Simpson, Homer.
That is all.

A "List" of something that is so short it doesn't seem appropriate to call it a list (probably no more than 2 items). Even so, it is presented in a "list format".

Contrast Long List.
