Talk:Ronza's Satchel

Order

Not trying to edit war on the order. I just added description of them related to their difficulty level, and so I sorted them according to that (instead of alphabetical order). --Metal 16:53, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

As this is a reference site, alphabetical order is much more likely to be how people will be looking for them. I'm going to change them back. --B.Rossow · talk 17:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I came here to find out what is in the Green satchels. I'm already aware that these correspond to the higher levels, and so immediately looked at the last entry, expecting them to be in difficulty order. I don't think it would ever occur to me to look them up an alphabetic order (but that doesn't mean that other people wouldn't, of course). --Winelight 18:27, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Wow. That's like going to the Stephen King section at the library and expecting to find "The Stand" on the shelf before "Cujo" because it has more pages, or "Salem's Lot" before "Christine" because it was published first. Not trying to create an argument, but reference materials are virtually always alphabetized. --B.Rossow · talk 18:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually I'd expect the Stephen King novels in the library not to be in any order at all, they never are, in reality. But you're right, of course, in any catalogue they would be in alphabetic order - it is normal. But alphabetic order of colours seems contextually meaningless in this case, not that it really matters, I think people will be able to find what they need on this page. --Winelight 20:37, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia lists Stephen King's novels in order of publication, but that's normal for bibliographies. --Winelight 20:47, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

...which would make it darn difficult to find a specific book you were looking for unless you were already somewhat of an expert on Stephen King. Perhaps we should revisit the Mice page and relist them all in the order they were released? Or by ID number, which doesn't always correspond to release order? ;-) --B.Rossow · talk 20:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
