I don’t understand the ‘freeze sort order’ explanation, can you make it clear to me, please?
The activities are per default sorted by the column “#”. This means that they are normally listed in their creation order:
If you choose to sort them according to another column (for example by priority)…
… and need to still have ascending values in the ’#’ column, simply call “Edit > Freeze Sort Order”.
Merlin will apply your sorting order as the standard order and renumber the ‘#’ values:

Note: When having sorted by a column, Merlin does not allow manual reordering. Use the ‘Freeze Sort Order’ in case you want to move some activities to another position while keeping the current sorting order for the rest.
