logical sequence Explanation: Logical sequence Another suggestion, just to be different... Emphasis is placed on arranging the sections in a logical order.

Etc. Later, users need to dip into it to find the answer to a particular issue, and need to know where to look for that one section without having to plough through the entire manual/handbook. |
