An order is a way of sorting entries, also called elements, in a list. The mathematical concept of linear order is closely related.
- Chronological order — listing by time, earliest to latest. (first, next, then, etc.)
- Lexicographical order (alphabetical order or dictionary order) — listing based on the first letter of the entry. Apple, Banana, etc.
- Most important to least — listing based on the most relevant entry to the least.
Many sorting algorithms exist, and much study has been done of their properties, including efficiency of time and storage.
