For sequential case numbers or projects that are numbered, a numerical system would probably work best.
If it is necessary for you to find things by date, then chronological may be your choice.
Some people get really creative and use a combination of these systems. For example, you may want your main categories to be chronological, but
sub-categories inside to be alphabetical.
3. LABELING. If a file isn't labeled properly, it's not going to be quick and easy to find:
* Always write your subject on tab of file folder, close to top of tab, so you can easily see it when you're looking through your files.
* Use a medium point, black marker to label your files. Print; don't use script.
* Use as few words as possible on tab.
