Steps to reproduce:

I clicked my Live Bookmark menu-item


Actual results:

I got the site-link first


Expected results:

I should have go just the newest RSS-item as the uppermost item. My eyes are bleeding right now trying to focus on which item is the newest in the feed.

what's the problem with figuring which item is the newest? Open "site" has no icon at all and there's a separator...
See http://ilias.ca/blog/2012/06/live-bookmarks-now-indicate-which-items-are-unread/ for how it's expected to appear.

The blog You mention has one single entry, I have a Folder-dropdown under which I have tens of Live Bookmarks. Now when I first click the dropdown open, I move my cursor to the Live Bookmark I'm interested in. Then next step has always been to click the newest at the top of the list. Now I have to focus my old tired eyes on one extra step to the right, and jump over the separator. 

I don't feel it logical that a Live Bookmark has the static item listed as the first item either. I think it would be better (for me) if the newest item is the "most important" or topmost item in a Live Bookmark list. 

The ideal situation would of course be if each user could choose how they want it.

Thanks for Your swift reply.

Yeah, it may take some time to get used to changes in the UI. the main problem with the entry at the bottom was with long livemarks, it was constantly going out of screen, and with many entries open all in tabs is mostly useless, so it's simpler to open the original page if many articles are of interest. Hard to find a globally good compromise.
