ORDER IN LISTS – How and why should I order lists?

Try to put all lists into some sort of order – alphabetical (ABC), numerical (123) or chronological (by date). Alphabetical order is usually the best and simplest. It makes it easier for your readers to find or re-find the parts of the list and to picture how the parts fit into the whole.

(See also PARALLEL LISTS).
