"Chronological order" is listing, describing, or discussing when events happened as they relate to time. Basically, it is like looking at the timeline to view what a good fast and what happened after that. Other ways to sort or order things are alphabetical order, importance/priority, or by some category such as time required, quantity, quality, etc. Ex: I like to keep my books in alphabetical order. Ex: Her to-do list is listed in order of priority.
