I think the reason credentials are ordered the way they are is because RN
is an academic degree and IBCLC is a certification. Generally, academic
degrees come first and are sequenced from lowest to highest; degrees are
followed by honors and certifications. The sequence is not neccessarily
chronological unless it involves equivalent items.
For example, my personal alphabet soup is BS, MS, ELS. If I next went on to
complete an MBA (ha, ha, ha!), my soup would read BS, MS, MBA, ELS, because
ELS is a certification, not a degree, and the MBA, while equivalent to an
MS, came later.
