The TRO Database Book ID is a value indicative of when this book was added. This value determines book placement on all lists generated chronologically. The Chronological List Value is determined by the most recent publication date of collected contents.

This value is actually based on a date system, but has no relation to any real dates. It's not actually unique site-wide, but is unique for each major list. The Unique Reading Order ID determines this book's placement in all lists generated from the Recommended Reading Order (or equivalents for non-DCU lists). If you think this book needs attention - should be given any additional tags or moved off a particular list, for example - just leave me a comment and I'll get right back to you! Since there is so much information to be found in each book, it's relatively common for a couple tags to be missed. Since each book is tagged with any reoccurring character inside, the amount of orders that can be generated through these tags is staggering. The Characters are very important to this database, since most users enjoy seeing a reading list generated by their favorite heroes and villains. These include all the writers, artists, and editors that worked on the collected material, as well as anyone who significantly contributed to the collected edition. The Creators will be tagged in every book in the database. Events often include specific crossovers and tie-ins, but many event reading orders also include books purely because they are recommended for appreciation and understanding of that event. Not every book is part of a particular publication series, nor necessarily included in the reading order for an event. The Series/Event taxonomy, like the rest, is not hierarchical. Check the header of each listing for specific information about each one. Look to the list information in the sidebar to see all the lists currently active. The distinction is important, because eventually there will be Silver Age book lists for Marvel and DC, and the lists will not be intermingled because of that hierarchy.

The DC Universe Pre-Crisis list is an example, allowing you to narrow the selection of DC books. This taxonomy is hierarchical, which means that there can be sub-lists under the main lists. For example, the DC Universe list includes every book in that shared universe. The Lists are large reading orders including every book that falls under them. Every link in this section (in orange) can be used to generate a dynamic reading list based on the term.

Likewise, Omnibus, Deluxe, or Absolute editions will have a separate page, though they will probably be close in the timeline. This means that Showcase and Archives that collect similar material are listed as separate books. If there have been similar releases that have significant differences, eventually both will be listed. For books with a hardcover and softcover or multiple editions this will be for whichever came first. I try to list the earliest publication date. I like to keep these in the database, but I try to make a note of the situation. Sometimes a book is listed here based upon a past solicitation, but never actually comes out. If this particular book hasn't yet been released, the information probably comes from the publisher's press releases and. For most books, this information is collected from the book itself and double checked against several other resources.
