I haven't been able to find an official answer to this. When ordering items under the "Appearance" section, how should it be done? Alphabetically? Chronologically from an in-universe perspect? Chronologically from when the particular item was made/written? Or does it not even matter? In any case, thanks in advance for any answer! StarsiderSWG 22:55, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

• Just to note, "Sources" are listed by OOU release date. NaruHina ^Talk 23:02, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
• On another note, what if something has chapters that take place during multiple years, like Star Wars: Darth Plagueis or Legacy of the Jedi? If something only appears in the last chapter, does it still get sorted by the earlier year or the later? Corellian Premier^{All along the watchtower} 16:10, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

I believe in this situations, proper sorting is by the first date given in the main body text of the book. Ie: Darth Plagueis is always to be sorted as 67 BBY in appearances, even if the article text is referring to something that happened in the 32 BBY section of the book. At least, that's how I've always understood the appearances dating policy (since before I even registered on here, I mean ;)). -- DigiFluid 16:59, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, go by the earliest chronological date that's not a flashback. Counterintuitively, Traitor should go before the Enemy Lines Duology, as it begins during the events of Dark Journey. Menkooroo 00:16, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
