Grammar
Early as an adverb of place
Hi.
Can we use early in the follwoing context? what about soon?
Ex. You shouldn't present your publication at the end of your CV. They are very important. They should be mentioned sooner/earlier in your CV.
Early and soon are adverb of time, but in the above context, they appear like and adverb of place.
Are there any alternatives for that? Can we say the same concept in another way in order to avoid using early?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
I would be grateful if you could express your opinion about it.
Thank you for your time in advance

I see nothing wrong with earlier and sooner there; it is common. The beginning was written and will be read earlier/sooner in time. In fact, no alternative at all springs to mind.
