How do I list overlapping freelance positions?

by CP
(Taiwan)

As a freelance writer, I have simultaneous and overlapping positions. In what order do I list them- by the time I started them or when I finished them? Thank you.


Example:

Position A May 2008-Dec 2008
Position B Jan 2008-Jan 2009

Does position A go on top due to it beginning earlier or does position B go on top due to it being the more recent?

ANSWER: I would always list the positions ending last first. But I'm not sure it makes a huge difference in the end, as long as it's relatively chronological.

Thank you for the feedback.
You understood my query despite my mistake in the example. I meant to say: Does position A go on top due to it BEGINNING LATER or does position B go on top due to it being the more recent?
