Mostly in increasing order of Atomic Mass. There were a couple cases where he swapped them so that the higher atomic mass came first; he made these decisions based on his knowledge of the chemical properties of the elements in question (he was pretty sure his hypothesis about them being periodic in their properties was correct, and when arranging them by mass interrupted that periodicity, he assumed the mass had been reported incorrectly).

We now know that they're periodic based on atomic number, not atomic mass, though the two are pretty correlated.

How did mendeleev organize the elements to create a periodic table?

Mendeleev organized the elements by increasing atomic mass and grouping elements with similar properties into columns called groups. He left gaps in the table for undiscovered elements and predicted properties of these elements based on the periodic pattern of known elements.

How is the current periodic table of the elements organized?

Mendeleev's version of the Periodic Table was organized by increasing mass. The modern periodic table is now organized by atomic number.


How was mendaleev table organized by what?

The Mendeleev table, also known as the periodic table, was organized by atomic number, atomic mass, and chemical properties of elements. Mendeleev was able to predict the properties of missing elements based on the gaps in his table.
