My only question is, "better
why?"
What, specifically, appeals to people about a particular chronology (different than the original publication chronology I mean, of course). Is it merely an OCD-type sense-of-linear-order issue, or is there something else in play?
Does the chronology aspect only come into play with multiple books, or would those who seem to prefer a strict one-way linear chronology like it better if the chapters of individual books were ordered chronologically as well?
Inquiring minds want to know. And I find the topic truly fascinating.
I run into people whose preferences run counter to my own all the time, but rarely do I encounter ones that I find so utterly foreign and incomprehensible to me. I truly can't seem to get my head around why some would derive a greater sense of satisfaction from books being rearranged into a linear chronology.
The only thing I've been able to figure out is that it must appeal to a general sense of "Hoyle" or something. A Robert's Rules of Order or parliamentarian/presbyterian gene that some have and some don't, or something.
Apologies for the lengthy rambling. Yes beer was involved.
