The Order of Orders.

In the previous post, I wrote: "[Chronological order is] the most obvious order, used by lovers of order all over the world and through the grand course of time. There are other orders — alphabetical order, order of importance...."

This made me want to put order... in order. I don't really want to do something I know I can't do. It's more that I want to do a top 10 list, with 10 types of order, ranked so as to amuse me and amuse or provoke you. 

I'm not going to fool around with alternative meanings of the word "order," so no need to steel yourself against jokes like "ham sandwich." I'm talking about orders like chronological order and alphabetical order. I like order, so I want order in talking about order. 

Also, I'm not talking about the order that exists in nature that benefits us and would be horrible to live without. I'm talking about the way human beings put things in order so we can understand them or find them later or enjoy the appearance of orderliness and so forth. 

Some strong contenders for #1: Linnaean taxonomy and the Dewey Decimal System.

But maybe chronological order is destined to win. Wikipedia redirects "Chronological order" to a page with a simpler title "Chronology," which reminds me that there's an order of size — or order of complexity — that causes us to prefer "Chronology" to "Chronological order." 

How much can you say about chronology?

Chronology is the science of locating historical events in time. It relies upon chronometry, which is also known as timekeeping, and historiography, which examines the writing of history and the use of historical methods....

You can't put things in chronological order until you have a concept of time and you keep track of it.

While of critical importance to the historian, methods of determining chronology are used in most disciplines of science, especially astronomy, geology, paleontology and archaeology....

But once you have a system of expressing time and you can figure out more or less when things happened, chronology is nothing more than numerical order. The ordering itself is easy and uncontroversial, because numbers — the kind of numbers used in expressing dates — are inherently ordered. That's why numerical order seems to rank higher than alphabetical order. 

But I'm going to give alphabetical order credit for doing so much with so little. It's random, but agreed on, and insanely useful.

Alphabetical order was first used in the 1st millennium BCE by Northwest Semitic scribes using the abjad system. However, a range of other methods of classifying and ordering material, including geographical, chronological, hierarchical and by category, were preferred over alphabetical order for centuries.

If I was going to make a Disney movie out of characters representing the different forms of order, I'd make alphabetical order the hero.
