TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
List them in order of importance to the user--which are they likely to use
most often? Which are mission-critical?. You can always cross-reference
alphabetically, or otherwise. And if they aren't in order of importance on
the page in the app, gently suggest to the developer(s) that perhaps they
should be.

Subject: Ordering of on-line help items
Hi
I am working on the on-line help for an web
application. On one page, there are several links
(actions). What would be more appropriate: List the
links in the order they appear on the page, or sort
them alphabetically?
