It is hard to say what the correct order of events "should" be and anything I'd say would be simply opinion. However as long as the actions are consistent, ie they ALWAYS show up at the top or always at the bottom then i can't say that there is a definitive answer. This is just a preference.

For examples of the fact that this is just preference:

many email programs list the newest messages on the top of the page since you want to be aware of what has just come in. 

However, timeless posted this bug because he felt the exact opposite way. That things should appear in the order they were added to the list and presumably in the order that they are mailed out in.

I would like to see someone find a definitive answer on this either way.

That being said, without a screen shot i would say that it is important to clearly show how/why the whines are being ordered the way they are being ordered.

Timeless could you provide a Screen Shot

For any UE person wanting to take on this one, please attempt to find a standard for applications for this type of action, perhaps things like Email rules/filters.
