Only at the Patent Office

This morning, I spoke with a friend of mine who works at the Israeli patent office. We had a good conversation about Life as a Patent Examiner, she sent me some useful links, and I ended up looking at the list of licensed patent attorneys.

Given 502 registered patent attorneys in Israel, how would you sort them? My initial assumption was alphabetically by last name. The patent office, however, was less arbitrary than that: the list is sorted by initial license date, earliest to latest. Of course.
