Alphabetical order is just that - alphabetical.  Alphabetical order places Heterobranchia before Vetigastropoda; that is not a "phylogenetic" placement.  We can go on and on about this topic, and there will be no consensus.  At some point, you have to pick a system and go with it.  Be assured that whatever you pick, somebody will tell you that you are wrong.

PS:  If you want the 2017 Bouchet et al. document, you can download it from ResearchGate; Google "Bouchet nomenclator," and find the ResearchGate entry.  It is highly technical and still puts a lot of names in alphabetical order.

 Hello,I am trying to get an exhibit together with the proper taxonomic order of Gastropod families.  I would appreciate any help with the following families....if you know where they belong, it would be helpful to me if you could give one or two families in front of and after. Here they are:Zebinidae, Ellobiidae, Aplysiidae, and Vermetidae.Thank you very much,Vicky WallMayodan, [log in to unmask] - a forum for informal discussions on molluscsTo leave this list, click on the following web link:http://listserv.uga.edu/scripts/wa-UGA.exe?SUBED1=conch-l-L&A=1Type your email address and name in the appropriate box andclick leave the list.----------------------------------------------------------------------
