Bug #64213 User notes shown in random order, not useful
Submitted: 2013-02-14 20:42 UTC Modified: 2013-02-14 20:55 UTC

Description:
------------
On php.net pages, the user notes at the bottom of the page are shown in what appears to be random order. In any case, it's not reverse date order. 
This makes it difficult to examine only notes since a particular date, and also difficult to notice notes that are responses to other notes.

This appears to be a regression of bug #23991.

Test script:
---------------
n/a

Expected result:
----------------
I expect notes to be in reverse order of date, per bug #23991

Actual result:
--------------
Notes are shown in no recognizable order.

Nice investigative work in tying it to #23991 from 2003, but actually the two are 
wholly-unrelated.  The new display format is actually because of the introduction 
of community voting (git commit 61152c6ae9402a547f216b924f121491bfbd934b[1], et 
al).  The feature introduced the sorting bug which is inconvenient for some 
users, but is technically not a bug.

behind that:
