However you do it you want to make sure that it either visually looks
like rows or columns (and overstate the cue, for people with low
vision).
And, you must make sure that the reading order is reflected in the
underlying technical structures for screen readers.

If they are arranged alphabetically, I believe it is easier to scan
down a list of names instead of across because the first letterof
each name will be lined up, making it easier to see large blocks of
names you can skip over ( if looking for a particular letter).

I was thinking the "left-to-right" would feel more natural,
specially if there is any scroll involved (it would be quite
uncomfortable having to scroll visually from top to bottom and then
again if you did not found what you looked for)... but I was thinking
about looking for "visual labels".

Thanks for the responses.
Sorry for any confusion, I just used placeholder text. I'll try to
clarify a bit. It's for a touch-screen kiosk. The buttons in this
case will be employers or names of companies, sorted alphabetically
across multiple pages using tabs. Users will of course have to select

It depends on culture and region, however horizontal arrangement is
more natural.
There are also several alternative views. Why don't you want to:
1) Copy from QWERTY keyboard? Many users are experienced with it.
2) Copy from mobile phone keyboard ? The same as with QWERTY
keyboard, but the list o
At first glance, kind of hard for me to give an opinion without knowing what
content would live in the tabs and buttons. What content is the user being
asked to click on and why?

It will depend on personal preferences, for example if part of your
target is used to another interface where one of these orders is
used, they may expect this one to be similar.
If the list will be actual text (justified to the left), people will
most likely choose the vertical order.

I find that this is really depending on the target audience
demographic or culture. But generally I prefer #2 because as you've
mentioned that these are list of items, which people will normally
see it in vertical order.

IMHO it's more about the spacing between the buttons than about the
arrangement. I would probably prefer the left-to-right version, but
in both cases you should have more space between the columns or rows
depending on which arrangement you choose.

Thought I'd get a few good opinions here on the matter...
Which would you consider more effective for a user? I thought there
was a natural choice, but it seems I've received differing thoughts,
so I figured I'd put it out to the group.
