Explanation:
(ex.)順を追って説明するために、3つの大項目に分けました。
>>>To explain this step by step, I devided the topic into 3 major categories.

When you hear the word "大項目," expect that there'll be "中項目/小項目" (sub-categories).


*Note that I'm not an IT computer and it could mean some IT term.
(ex.) My IT dictionary says that "項目" means "Column" in database.

*Web reference is a google search result for "大項目に分け"


Good luck with your translation project!
