This chart reorganizes the items in alphabetical order, which is no better than the preceding chart for facilitating a clear description of the pattern. Again, the ordering encourages writers to report agreement rates for individual circumstances of abortion rather than teasing out a pattern among all six circumstances.

A second problem is that different researchers might abbreviate the question names differently, resulting in inconsistent alphabetical ordering of the same items. For example, what I called “wants no more” could have been labeled “married, wants no more,” which would place it 4th rather than 6th in the alphabetical sequence.
