1.2.2-1 Logical Organization

Information should be organized in some recognizable logical order to facilitate scanning and assimilation.

Additional Information:
If the data in the rows has order, the order should be increasing from left to right. If the data in the columns has order, the order should be increasing from top to bottom of the display. Items in lists should be arranged in a recognizable order, such as chronological, alphabetical, sequential, functional, or importance. Where no other principle applies, lists should be ordered alphabetically. It is the user's logic which should prevail rather than the designer's logic, where those are different.
