That way you get where you need to in a hurry. And maintain the
integrity of the conversation. Theis particularly important if you get

(arrangement in order of time of occurrence) is simply another

Have you ever worked in an office with many files, Some post newest
first other post newest last, I believe most I have worked in post the
newest first because most like when you need a file it will be the
newest, or near the front of the drawer so you do not have to dig.

Or by topic, also alpha.
Ditto by computer, but that's an easy resort.
