AppDB

I'm sure this was raised before, but why does the AppDB show comments from
oldest to newest, not newest to oldest? This ordering makes no sense to me.

For the same reason that we write our emails below the quote.  It's easier
to follow the conversation reading down the page, not up.

The problem is that appdb comments are not a conversation, they are
usually just remarks on how well something works or how to make the
program work. This advice quickly becomes irrelevant as new versions
of Wine are released.

Given that somebody reading the page will want only information and
not to read a 50 post long thread, it makes sense that the newest
comments be at the top.

In that case I agree with you.  Can this be changed?
