I'm with Wallace on this one. I truly respect and honor consistency but
it's not for me in this case.
My default preference is newest on top. In any sort of problem solving
or project managing activity my first objective is usually to establish
where we are now and where we need to be. So the first thing I want to
read is the latest "possible solution" or "test failed, trying something
different" post. So I usually want to read email conversations and
project logs from the most recent. Also, when adding a note top a long
narrative especially on a phone where there is no "end" button, it's
easier to add a new note at the top, where the cursor is when the edit
screen opens.
But sometimes the question is not where we are or where we need to be.
It's however did we get where we are. For these you want to read
earliest to latest. I agree with other posters that it is really
unsatisfying to read a conversation from the bottom up. So when I am
building a log that seems likely to be read as a narrative, it's
add-at-bottom.
Honestly, anything being recorded as it happens is probably add-at-top
while a narrative reconstructed afterwards, edited for readability, will
be add at bottom.
