I would say chronologically seeing as that is the way they are catalogued and one name change leads to another. Isn’t that the way the serials world supposed to work?

Subject: [SERIALST] Chronological vs. ABC?

 

Hi all, 

 

Would you say it is better to keep a title that keeps changing their name slightly in alphabetical order or in chronological order?  Specifically, we have a title that started out as: 

"Education and Training in Mental Retardation." 

"Education and Training in Mental Retardation in Developmental Disabilities"

"Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities"

"Education and training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities"

 

That is the chronological order.  If we were to put them in ABC order, it would go: 

 

"Education and training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities"

"Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities"

"Education and Training in Mental Retardation." 

"Education and Training in Mental Retardation in Developmental Disabilities"

 

Which is better?  Thanks!
