And yes, comments on Yes votes are also reverse sorted based on a couple samples in my contribution queue.

But are yes votes with no notes in reversed submitted order?

Why would "Yes"-votes have "No"-notes?

No obvious order that is based on names.

I would have to take screen shots to prove it but the Yes votes w/o notes seem to reorder themselves as more votes come in.  That is what was the top of the list of Yes w/o notes appear to move to a "random" location within the list if i check the votes later.

Odd. I'd like a simple strict chronological order.

Yeah, I too would like a simple, chronological listing.  At a glance I'd like to see the order things happened (yes and no votes).

Example, this is what we have today:

No - some reason
No - some reason
No - some reason
No - some reason
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes

This really just tells us who voted yes and no and how many of each we have.  It doesn't tell us much more beyond that.

If they were chronological, these same votes tell a complete different story.

Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
No - some reason
No - some reason
No - some reason
No - some reason

In this case, a few people hit yes, then a problem was found that pretty much everyone else agrees with.  The first votes were just people who didn't notice an issue.  Maybe had they come along after the first no vote, their vote may have been different.

Now take the same votes, assuming these are in chronological order as well:

Yes
No - some reason
No - some reason
Yes
No - some reason
Yes
No - some reason
Yes

If I saw a vote like this, I'd know I'd want to really pay close attention to the votes because clearly these is some disagreement on the contribution.

You make a very good point there.  Since the voting percentage is at the top to give a "quick" view of the voting, I can see where full chronological would give us some extra information about the voters.

I don't care one way or the other.

I seldom check what other people vote unless I'm really not sure if the contribution is correct or not.

Even then I usually go to a couple of people who I believe have a better understanding of that section of the rules to get clarification.

I'm really only interested in votes or comments if one of my contributions gets a "no". Then it is important so that I can fix it if the voter is correct.

I completely agree. As it is now, we waste information content. Not only for the coming voter but also for the reviewer.
