A plea for a common sequence of birds in all future bird field guides (5 Viewers)

[idaho john]

and...

I would like to add my voice to the request for a common sequence as well for bird guides.

And...in regards to Niels and Swissboy's last communication or entries, I would prefer having guides in a hardback or paperback version rather than digital media.

For some reason in this one area, I would much rather have the book or guide in hand than an electronic device.

Hide bound traditionalist!

The electronic version has the potential benefit of added voices. Thus, I'm not pleading for a books-only world. Rather, I'm for a combination. I'd certainly be one who'd get both.

But I'm strongly against alphabetical orders in books. We'd have the weirdest mix when leafing through. Would not matter much in electronic form, as there is not much of a reasonable way of immediate comparison anyway. Also, we'd have fundamentally different sequences in each language. There is not just English in this world.
