How useful is it to put things in chronological organization?
It is only useful when the dictates of the work follow in date order. Otherwise it is a waste of time. In many organizational situations, filing in alphabetical/numerical order would be best. Chronological only works if you need to access information by date only.Given a business, or one's personal business, accessing receipts for taxes - you need to organize by category - chronological is not helpful.For a client-based business you need to organize by customer name - chronological is not helpful at all.For school records, it must be by grade and student name - chronological does not help.Now for let's say testing of students, in that case, chronological could be beneficial, as you don't need to access individual records, but the last tests given.In any situation when you need to access individual records, chronological may not be helpful at all.Now, I should clarify, within a folder, say a client's folder, placing the items as most recent first is beneficial - meaning the older paperwork is at the back and newer at the front. But that's for each individual file, and not necessarily appropriate for a whole filing system.
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.)
Does chronological order mean most recent first or vice versa?

What are the differences and similarities of alphabetic and numeric filing systems?
Numeric systems are good for privacy and security issues. You need only a master list to identify the account. They are also less likely to have filing errors as there is only one true place for a number to be filed. Alpha systems can have filing errors based on the confusion of filing by the first word in the name, which in some instances is "The" or a first name. Example: John Hawkins will likely be filed correctly under Hawkins. The John Hawkins Agency provides too many opportunities for erroneous filing. File #3658 will at least be filed in the 3's and most likely be filed correctly. Inexperienced filing clerks or others can easily misplace files in the alpha system. Unlike Numeric systems, alpha systems require no cross index and are easily identified when not filed (in use). The raised tab will say "John Hawkins Agency". You don't have to translate a number into a name using the cross reference system stored in your computer. So there are advantages and disadvantages for both systems and one should be selected based on the type of business and need for security. I don't really see any similarities other than filing is done "from small to big". Starting at A in alphas. Like Abrahms, followed by Adams, followed by Anderson, etc. Numerics will usually add an arbitrary prefix and start at something like 1001, followed by 1002, etc.

What is being a File Clerk like?
I worked as one for a while. It depends on the type of business, but typically you deal with their files all day. Sometimes they have a certain way of putting the papers in order (and they will show you how they want it done). Sometimes you create some files online and some places are still dealing w paper files. So you would either scan papers to go into their system or as I said deal w the hard copies. Some papers may need to get copied and that goes in the file while they hold on to the originals (and they will let you know as well) I took notes on all the ways they wanted things so I didn't have to keep asking them. You will also be asked to file them alphabetically in filing cabinets according to business name or persons name (depending on the field your in). They usually ask you answer the phones as well and light office work like sorting mail, faxing and sometimes calling places for different purposes and or online research. Hope this helps =}
