Numbering/Labeling Conventions thread
I was taught (several decades ago now) that you numbered the municipal buildings and churches first, then the features of interest like parks and historic sites and finally the local landmarks - waterfalls, etc. However, given the same map two different cartographers would probably number it quite differently according to their personal opinion on which of the features or which of those groups is more important than the others. So in the end it boils down to what Wyvern said:
As long as your labelling is clear and unambiguous, and makes sense to you, I'm not sure anything beyond that is altogether important.
