Typically it's in reverse chronological order. You tell them this is where I am, and prior to this, i did xyz.
I usually don't mention extra curricular in the resume walkthrough , but I weave in the reasons for my career transition here through something I did outside of work, and that covers the question (for a career switcher) of "what in your background supports your interest for changing to abc career.

Hey Wiseguy... thanks for sharing ur wisdom...
I tried the walkthru in reverse chronological order ... but i felt everything got really muddled and felt that the listener will be kinda confused at the end it... Do u think that the interviewer is expecting a reverse order or any would work or should we ask him if he is looking for a particular order... or is it that my profile is muddled and that is the reason for the discomfort?

Profile from grad to today:
grad engg. - 1.5 yrs in IT compny - 1.5 yrs in international freelance exp. - 1 yr a cmpny in totally diff field - 3 yrs my own venture in this new field... i have expln for every turn which makes the whole story logical...

Please suggest.....

one question that kinda every adcom asks is ..."walk me through your resume"...IMHO this is an opportunity for you to briefly represent yourself, apart from just what you wrote on your resume ..talk about who you are, where you come from..i.e put a perspective on things..

A friend of mine went for an interview at Yale SOM and was asked to read something on the spot and do an analysis..A quick review of case analysis is perhaps in order (although I've never heard of this from anywhere else).

Here are a few more (not all unique...but I hope it helps).

-Name one company that you think is successful and one company that you think isn't.
-How do you fit with different cultures
-Why did I choose to do this undergraduate school ?
-Highlights and disappointments in your current job ?
-Why and how did you start to do this extracurricular activity ?
-Why did I choose my undergraduate college and what other options did I have.
-What challenges I had when I entered my college.
-He kept asking for more details on one of my project, from start to finish and wanted exact financial details, etc.
