GenBank records are displayed generally in a ‘last into the database first displayed’ order. In Nucleotide and Protein databases one can sort by accession numbers by selecting the ‘Sort by accession’ pull down menu from the Protein results page or from the results page for each of the Nucleotide component databases: CoreNucleotide, EST and GSS.
