Best Practice
If you plan to release your content over time (e.g., set modules to open on the first day of each week), then consider putting them in reverse chronological order. This puts the current module/folder at the top and makes it easier for students to access!
Also, keep titles short or place the most important information first, as longer titles are cut off when students access your course via a mobile device.
