I had the same situation as you and went back and ordered everything chronologically. I've always been glad that I did and can't think of any reason I would want to do it any other way. I like mine sorted by date because I feel reading events in a persons life chronologically creates a logical progression of the presons life when viewing the information.

Could I have some user input, please? Do you sort Events by Type or Date, and why?
