Summary/Abstract: This paper proposes an alternative ordering of Indo-European cases for comparative purposes. The proposed order places cases with similar inflectional endings, related forms, or historically frequent syncretism next to each other, making cross-language comparison easier. This ordering is not intended to replace the traditional grammatical order of cases, but to serve as a practical tool for comparative tables, teaching, and grammatical description.
