CheckPoint: Alphabetic Filing
Nothing comes before something is
a common and helpful rule for filing that means a space precedes letters or
numbers when sequencing filing units. Compare the names: Lou Ann and LouAnn. The
space after Lou in Lou Ann precedes the A after Lou in LouAnn.
Therefore, in a filing system that follows the nothing comes before
something guideline, Lou Ann comprises two filing units
whereas LouAnncomprises
one filing unit. Lou Ann precedes LouAnn in the
filing sequence—the space comes before the letter.
