Library job terminology:

"chunk order",

as in -

"the order of the books as they return from the scanning facility in these big shipping crates, as people sometimes had small piles that they combined together haphazardly in order to fill the shipping crates before they sent them back to us."

So, as you look at the crates, you can find chunks in order, and if you can order those chunks as you move the books to the carts for shelving, you're ahead of the ball game and can save yourself a lot of time!
