I have no research to back this, but here is an idea you can try: Rule 1: Alphabetical Titles [Yeah I know Jared is probably going to hate this :)] Rule 2: Alphabetical Categories Rule 3: Letter's appearance in titles
Example: (A)BC for filing [Papers] (A)necdotes for searching [Papers] (A)pple [Papers] (A)pple pie recipes [Papers] (A)re you really happy? [Papers] (A)griculture [Categories] (A)rchitecture [Categories] (A)necdotes [Categories] Five (a)pples on the sidew(a)lk [All] There w(a)s (a) m(a)n with one (a)rm [All] I sent seven ducks for (a) walk [All] You can obviously use your own method of hightlighting the letter / phrase in question. Depending on how your users search, you can swap [Papers], [Categories] and [All] around. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
