Learn the skill

For positive CE years, earlier years have smaller numbers. Sort the supplied dates before deciding which record is first or last. All records here are fictional; the event order does not prove one caused another.

Worked example

Records dated 1820, 1790 and 1805 go 1790, 1805, 1820 from earliest to latest.

Schematic sequence, left to right: 1790: Earliest; 1805: Middle; 1820: Latest. Equal drawing gaps do not guarantee equal elapsed time.
