Multiple documents in a single request display in alphabetical order in History.  Documents ordered separately, even if with the same session, appear as separate entries in History in the order in which they were retrieved by CourtLink - with the most recently completed on top. In the .ZIP file for multiple documents ordered in a single request, Lexis CourtLink orders the documents by proceeding number, but the .ZIP file program has a function that lists the documents in alphabetical order. That is a feature with the zip file program the user has and is not controlled by CourtLink.
