What is Chronological/non-chronological order?

• the science of arranging events in their order of occurrence in time.
• organized by time/date, which can be either with most recent on top of the pile and going back in time (called reverse chronological order). or starting with the beginning and moving forward, depending on what it is. For instance your phone messages are in chronological order with most recent on top. A medical chart is always in reverse chronological order as is classic design of a resume; but history timelines usually want to start at the beginning and move forward. History in general likes to start at the beginning and move forward. A crime investigation starts at the point of the crime and moves forward.
• temporally sequential, from earliest to latest (as opposed to reverse chronological order which would be from latest to earliest), although a lot of people tend to use the term more generally meaning alphabetically and/or numerically, from first to last and/or least to greatest.
• In media and film , this means the order in which the series of events in the film are presented to an audience. if the film is chronological, then we see and order of the protagonists journey from start to finish, if its non-chronological or reversed, the it does not and flash backs may appear or the film may begin and the end and finish at the beginning.
