You're right...
Now, how would you describe the order? Would 'index order" be enough?
The Dictionary says "normal order" and then goes on to define it. I
have looked for years for the right words. It has to be short and
intuitive - not a mathematical definition.
How about "in the order in which they appear in y"?

Looking at the NuVoc definition of , y Ravel
The following statement and the example directly below it...
--------
Produces a list <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#List>
containing all the atoms
<http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#Atom> in y, in order.
An atom <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#Atom> is converted
to a 1-atom list <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#List>, a
list <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#List> is left
unchanged, and any noun <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#Noun>
of higher rank <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#Rank> is
flattened into a list <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#List>
]z=: 0 10 20 +/ i. NB. sample noun
0 1 2 3 4
10 11 12 13 14
20 21 22 23 24
,z
0 1 2 3 4 10 11 12 13 14 20 21 22 23 24
-------------------
...and also...
,'ace',.'bdf'
abcdef
...give the first impression that Ravel puts the items into lexical order,
which is misleading, as shown by the example 2 under Common Uses:
]a =: 4 4 ?@$ 100
89 91 1 24
88 43 43 32
85 84 27 31
10 11 49 90
+/ 50 < , a
6
,a
89 91 1 24 88 43 43 32 85 84 27 31 10 11 49 90
Since NuVoc is targeting new users, the 'in order' statement should. IMHO,
specify explicitly the order as being <whatever description is appropriate>.
