medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

the chronological approach. But as long as dates are given in an easily
findable manner, I can scroll down to locate them.
yes, scrolling is always possible, no matter what the primary interest of a
reader might be.
chronological listing has a clear advantage (as would geographical ordering,
if one were a nationalist or a regionalist).
and, if anyone (for whatever reason) would only be interested in, say, LKSRs
whose names begin with the letters A-F, they would be forced to do some
scrolling --or jumping around-- in a chronological listing.
but what, exactly, is the advantage of the alphabetical arrangement, other
than it's nouvoténess?
which latter consideration might certainly be thought of as Unseemly, for
middlevilists.
