(i) chronological order:

ADVERTISEMENTS:
The writer can build suspense leading to climax. In this the climax i.e. the most important idea is put last. Whatever order the writer chooses it is important that the sentences in the paragraph are arranged in a logical sequence.
(iv) logical connection between ideas:
Transition words provide connection between sentences. The most obvious transition words are number words such as:—Firstly, Secondly, Thirdly etc.
Kindly note that these words are avoided by more experienced writers transition words are also used to express the order of arrangement chosen by the writer.
