Chronological order is a sequence of events arranged in their order of occurrence in time, such as a time line. It is a sorting of dates from oldest to newest.

What does "chronological" mean?

It means "In order", by time. For example, history books usually use chronological order to explain events, from the past to the current time. A timeline of events is written chronologically. As long as something is written by order of time (1906, 1907, 4 months ago, 3 days ago, 2 minutes ago, 6 seconds ago) it is considered chronological.

What does chronological order mean?

You have the right idea but you kinda said the same thing. It's like if you are doing research on dates between 1990 and 2000 you would start with 1990 and continue year by year, i.e. 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993...2000.

What does inverse chronological order mean?

Starting with the most recent job, ending with the job the farthest away in the past. Inverse means "reversed, the opposite". Chronological means "relating to time". So it's in the opposite direction of time. Example:

2008: UPS driver
2007: burger flipper
2006: mowing lawns for neighbors

Meaning of chronological?

2 A person's chronological age is their actual age rather than the stage that they have reached in their mental or physical development. Example - His chronological age is ten but he has a mental age of four.

What does chronological order mean? What are some examples?

Chronological order means that a particular narrative or sequence of events is related in their respective order in linear time.  Thus if one were relating the life of George Washington, that storyteller would first tell about his youth, then his life as a surveyor, then his involvement in the French and Indian War, perhaps followed by his leadership of the Continental Army in the American Revolution, write about his involvement with the Constitutional Convention, his service as President of the United States, and might finish with his "Farewell Address" and brief retirement, before his death in 1799.The film Star Wars is told entirely in chronological order (a few may dispute this)  but each scene follows in time sequence.  That does not mean they are all occurring at the same rate of time elapse, but no scene in Star Wars moves backwards in time.  Contrast that with Saving Private Ryan, where the first scene of the film is in the (at the time the film was made) present day, but the film quickly moves back to 1944.  Inside that container, however, each section of the film proceeds in chronological order.Compare that with the film Godfather II, where there are numerous flashbacks to Vito Corleone's young life and then back to the 1950s and 1960s with Michael Corleone.  Many people do not like a film that contains numerous flashbacks, and that may explain in part the diminished reception for Godfather II compared to The Godfather, even though the second film is at least partly taken from the same novel.  Godfather II is a combination of much of the backstory from the Godfather plus some additional plotlines.More narrowly, if one were constructing a list of historical events in chronological order, then the events would be listed in the order which they occurred, so the listBuilding of StonehengeBuilding of the Roman aqueductsBuilding of the Kölner Dom (the Cathedral in Cologne, Germany)Building of the U.S. CapitolBuilding of the Empire State Buildingwould be in chronological order (if we take their "first completion" dates in any case.)On the other hand this list of battles:AntietamBull RunChickamaugaGettysburgHampton Roadswould not be in chronological order (though the list is in alphabetic order.)

What is the meaning of "reverse chronological order"?

Chronological order refers to things arranged according to time, from the earliest to the latest. Reverse chronological order would list them from latest to earliest. One example of reverse chronological order would be resumees, where occupations are listed from current (or most recent) position and goes back from there to first job.

Does chronological order mean most recent first or vice versa?

Need it for a job application, which usually say "most recent first" so that is how I have started, but before I spend the rest of the day on this I had better not waste my time and have my application dumped because I put my previous experience in the wrong order. Thanks for your help.

What is meant by the term 'inverse chronological order'?

Chronological order refers to ordering events in accordance with the time sequence in which they occurred, ie an event that occurred in 1912 would come after an event that occurred in 1911 but before an event that occurred in 1913.Inverse chronological order would be the opposite of this.
