Wghen I'm handed a book or roster in order other than numeric, I cringe. I'm with you; numeric order makes it a lot easier to find players when it comes to recording information.

I cannot recall any rule set that requires this (NCAA and NFHS I can say with certainty do not).

Heck, one local middle school coach won't even put last names in his score book.
