Describing Order and Sequence
Patrick: Okay, your first task is to put all of these files in order.
Maya: Wow, there must be hundreds of files in this storeroom. How am I supposed to organize them?
Patrick: Create a basic filing system. Put things in sequence. If they’re labeled with dates, put them in chronological 1 order. If they’re labeled with names, put them in alphabetical 2 order by last name.
Maya: Okay, but what about this file? It’s labeled with a four- digit 3 number, but it’s not a date.
Patrick: Those are case numbers. Put those in ascending 4 or descending 5 numeric order, whichever makes sense.
Maya: But this file has letters followed by numbers.
Patrick: Then put those in alphanumeric order, first by letter and then by number. Simple, right?
Maya: Yeah, but have you ever considered a more random 6 filing system, something that embraces chaos 7?
Patrick: No, I haven’t. If I wanted chaos, I’d just go home to my 11 children!
