User blog:MasterBroccoli/Listing order (games and civilizations)

Hello!

There is another thing I think we have no agreement about that affects a lot of pages. It's the order in which we show games on pages about articles that concern more than just one game, e.g. pages about game mechanics, animals, or disambiguations. I've wondered about it many times and think we should really have an agreement there. Currently, there are two versions in use for the games:

Version 1
 * 1) Age of Empires
 * 2) Age of Empires II
 * 3) Age of Empires III
 * 4) Age of Mythology

This version lists the Age of Empires games and then Age of Mythology. Also, it is an alphabetical order.

Version 2
 * 1) Age of Empires
 * 2) Age of Empires II
 * 3) Age of Mythology
 * 4) Age of Empires III

This version lists the games in chronological order.

I'd like to reach an agreement on which version to use on all pages.

There is a second thing I was just made aware of by an editor. It's about the order in which to list civilizations. Again, there are two options that may make sense: alphabetical (all civilizations are listed alphabetically) or chronological (1. base game civilizations (in alphabetical order), 2. first expansion civilizations (in alphabetical order), 3. second expansion civilizations (in alphabetical order), etc.).

I prefer version 1 for the games as this is the Age of Empires wiki and the alphabetical listing for the civilizations as to me, the civilizations are all equally part of any game. Also, Age of Empires II lists all civilizations alphabetically.

What do you say?
