what kind of chronological order do you use for CV in terms of education, work experience, volunteer experience and scholarships? What I'm asking is do you put the most recent ones on top or bottom? Thanks

I like to put more recent things first - but I'm definitely not an expert on CVs...

It can be done either way.

It would make more sense to put recent to oldest, e.g. people are probably more interested in the college you attend rather than the high school you went to, your more recent research experience than the retail job you had earlier, etc. IMO I don't really understand why people put oldest to recent. But hey, people do it, and I'm still an undergraduate so it's just my two cents.
