What are some reasons for using chronological order?

Answer 1

Because it's usually easier to understand. Johnny went home and flopped into bed, but before that he got in the car. That morning he was going to the beach, and he was making sandcastles. He was so tired, but he'd had so much fun making sandcastles. Before that he'd gone swimming. ^ That is poorly written and you have to really concentrate on it to work out the sequence of Johnny's day. Johnny woke up excited. He was going to the beach! He had a swim, and then made sandcastles. He got in the car to go home and flopped into bed. He was very tired, but he'd had so much fun!

Arranging events in the correct sequence allows an understanding of what happened, why it happened, how it happened, how we can avoid it happening again and how we can make it happen again if it was good. Chronology is important in understanding how a problem developed, how a disaster occurred, how it was managed, how a system evolved, how something successful developed into a success, and how discoveries lead to new discoveries. It helps track diseases and find cures. It helps to understand history, solve a crime, chart growth and decay and track changes of all sorts of things that affect us and the world we live in. It may be the most valuable system of record-keeping that was ever developed.

Answer 3

The Battle of Marathon was earlier than the Battle of Salamis: the first was in 490BC, the second was in 480 BC. But, the fall of Rome was earlier than the fall of Constantinople (the first was in 476AD, the second was in 1453AD) The four events in chronological order: The Battle of Marathon, the Battle of Salamis, the fall of Rome, the fall of Constantinople. In the period before Christ (BC), the earlier the event, the bigger the number. In the period after the birth of Christ (AD), the later the event , the bigger the number.
