Having trouble with syntax I think

sortspec.md is in a directory called Ada_Palmer. When I turn on sort, sortspec.md is sorted to the top, and everything else is unchanged. I keep seeing that indentation matters, but I don't know what the rules are. Is that the problem?

(A suggestion about the documentation being hard: Adding more examples could be really helpful, and pretty easy if you get people to send real-world examples as pull-requests.)

This did work:

---
sorting-spec: |
  target-folder: Ada_Palmer/Terra_Ignota
  Too_Like_the_Lightning
  Seven_Surrenders
  sortspec.md
---

After a bunch of experimentation, I got this to work as well. I'm putting it here as an example for whoever comes to ask the same questions.
