Quote:
Basic Types of Filing Arrangements

The selection of an appropriate filing classification system requires analysis of the information needs of your agency. There are three basic methods for arranging files:

1) Alphabetic - using letters of names, subjects, or geographic locations.

2) Numeric - using numbers in various combinations (including dates, in a chronological system).

3) Alphanumeric-using a combination of letters and numbers.
