Do you put your submission in a certain order?

When submitting coins, especially if they are the same series, do you list your coins on the submission form in a certain order?
I do. I list them in order from what I feel is the lesser grade to the highest grade. I think it's human nature to mentally compare like objects. So let say you have 4 lincoln cents and you feel one is a 64, one is a 64+, one is a 65 and the last is a 66. The graders look at the first coin in the submission and grade it 64. They have the mental image of that 64 and see the next coin is nicer, and maybe you get a 65.
Probably makes no difference, but it makes me feel better.

What Ahrensdad said.
Of course if they're all the same type and date, I guess it doesn't matter too much.Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

The receiving staff appreciates coins listed in order but it doesn't matter to the graders. They don't always grade a submission by listing order.Follow me on Twitter @wtcgroup

I usually put the six figure coins at the top to make sure the graders are alert...
