The reason why IMDB does it is because IMDB is focus on the
people, i.e. actors or crew, so people want to see what the latest thing they've done is. But when I research the history of an inanimate object like a CAR or a GUN, I don't often want to see the Latest thing it's been seen in. The research materials always starts at the chronological beginning and then moves forward.
That's the difference between living people and inanimate object. We all have an interest in 'What are they doing NOW?" when it comes to people's careers. Whereas I never ask the question "what is it doing now?" when I'm curious about the M1911A1......
