Does chronological order mean most recent first or vice versa?
Need it for a job application, which usually say "most recent first" so that is how I have started, but before I spend the rest of the day on this I had better not waste my time and have my application dumped because I put my previous experience in the wrong order. Thanks for your help.

In a job application or CV, you should always put the most recent jobs first, so chronological order in this case actually means reverse chronological order. Otherwise, normally, chronological order means in date order with the oldest first.

Chronological order is organizing events in time order

If its for a job application, I would start with the most recent first, especially if it doesn't explicitly say to start with your first job ever. Logistically, it makes more sense to start with your most recent job because it is usually most relevant to the job you're currently trying to get.
However, if its for a resume, I would start with your first job and work up to your most recent.
Hope this helps!

Chronological order means it's going in order of when it happened. For example, beginning to end.
