For the research section on the CAS application, I know the directions say to put things in chronological order, but does reverse chronological order also work? I feel like reverse chronological order is more readable, but I don't want to upset somebody because I didn't follow directions perfectly.
 
Yup, that is reverse chronological order.

I asked around at clinic today and it seems like chronological order is pretty common when putting information on a CV. I don't know where I go the impression that reverse chronological order is better. But, I'm glad I got things cleared up. Going with chronological.

Uh what? You always list the most recent things first on any application. So yes I think you should list them in reverse chronological order. That's how mine is right now...

agree with above. reverse chron is the norm
 
Ditto. I did reverse chronological order so the ophtho projects show up at the top and the stuff from back in college shows up at the bottom.
