I would say categories, mainly because 1) that's how other places do it 2)
items may have different names and thus should be under multiple letters. Is
it Tape or Adhesive? Is it Trash, Garbage pale, or Dust bin?
Categories are less difficult to get wrong.

interestingly tangentially related):

Categories make sense for the primary organizing model, but ideally
you'd let people browse both ways. Maybe have categories as the main
navigational schema but give folks access to an A-Z list as well.
Note that if you do have an A-Z list, a well maintained thesaurus is
essential. (So in

Besides alphabetical and categorical you can also organize
information based on location, time and hierarchy (or even randomly).
I usually look at alphabetical as the organizational

Hi Oliver,
Although not a dedicated wire-framing tool, I've used OO Draw in the past.
It's been quite good and you definitely get your money's worth out of it! :)

what platform are you on?
I tend to be a minimalist when it comes to user testing -- a good
laptop with a display resolution similar to your target users and a
quiet area are all that's needed.
As for software, I use a pretty old version of Camtasia. I don't use
it as a substitute to note taking - it's a good way to jog

To me, this suggests that you should consider basing the article around a
