A. appear in alphabetical order.

Citations on a works cited page appear in alphabetical order. 

  • On a works cited page, which is used in styles like MLA (Modern Language Association), the citations are typically organized in alphabetical order by the author's last name. If there is no author, the titles of the works are used instead. This is done to standardize the format across various papers and to make it easier for readers to find the sources referenced in the text.
  • The works cited page is crucial for giving credit to the original sources of information, avoiding plagiarism, and providing readers with the details they need to find those sources for their own research purposes. Different referencing styles may have different rules, so it's essential to follow the guide relevant to the style you are using.
