In what order are C.O.D. checks collected?

• A. Newest on bottom, Oldest on top
• B. All at once
• C. In random order
• D. Oldest on bottom, Newest on top

Answer: (D)

Sorting COD checks by the date they were received keeps the payment trail clear and easy to verify. When you stack them with the oldest at the bottom and add newer ones on top, the newest payment sits on top while the oldest remains at the base, preserving a chronological order throughout the bundle. This arrangement makes it straightforward to review and reconcile against the remittance log and deposit slip, and it reduces the risk of overlooking older checks during tallying. If the order were shuffled or the oldest were on top, older payments could get buried and reconciliation mistakes or delays could happen.
