Information flow in the argument progresses in a logical order
Essay which flow logically are much easier to read than essays that jump from topic to topic. Ordering paragraphs with ideas that link to each other can counteract this from happening. If there are 4 main points to write about then order them in a way that will allow them to be linked. Use the opening and closing sentences of paragraphs to link previous points to the points that are about to be made. Write more generally in these sentences and this will allow them to be linked to previous and following paragraphs.
