Flashback, as the Anchor Defines It

The idea
The glossary defines flashback as narrating an event that occurred before the point in the story the narrator has reached. It is a departure from the order plot would otherwise follow, and a question may ask what the departure accomplishes.
In practice
An earlier event, told later.
Where people slip
Ask what the departure accomplishes.
