Ordering Ideas
The same set of points can be arranged in several orders. Some orders are decided by the material itself. Others are chosen by the writer.
The split shown by the colours matters. When events happened in a sequence, that sequence is the order, and departing from it needs a reason. When the material has no built-in order — four separate reasons for a recommendation, say — the writer decides, and deciding well is the skill.
