Presently, birders who use field guides are all too often confronted with a differing sequence depending on which book(s) they use. A particular "horror" example was found in the first edition of "Bird of the Indian Subcontinent" (Grimmett, Inskipp and Inskipp 1999). There is now a second edition with lots of improvements. One of them being a more customary sequence of the birds.
As a result of this, there has been an ongoing discussion in that thread that is discussed not only with respect to the birds of India. For those who don't expect such a topic of general interest being hidden in a thread about a particular field guide, here is the link: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=220475&page=2 The discussion starts with post #48.
