Learn English – ‘Before or After’ in one word

single-word-requests

I'd like a single word to ask someone whether something happened 'before or after' whatever it is we're talking about.

Occurring comes to mind but then you always say, did this occur before or after that?

When is too descriptive and asks for a specific time.

Best Answer

Order or chronology are around the mark.

The events occurred in what order ?

What was the chronology of the events?

But the answer might not be "A was before/after...", but rather "first A, then..."
