So why are people putting charts in REVERSE chrono order again?

[MoviePropMaster2008]

I'm seeing a lot of boxes in reverse Chronological order, i.e. most recent first and then going backwards in time.

If there was some sort of consensus or VOTE by the other Mods, then I'm all for it.

BUT....

I made a point in the past that this doesn't make sense to me. When scholarly pages (and imfdb IS for movie/gun buffs and scholars in a way) mention the appearance of items (like the advent of the siege machine or gun powder) they START at the very FIRST appearance of that item. They don't start with the most recent and work backwards.

When car historians talk about the FORD MUSTANG, they don't list info about the latest model before they talk about the model's FIRST appearance on the car scene.

When I first made the Steyr AUG page, I noted that the first verifiable instance of seeing it in a movie/TV show was ~1983. Now I'm actively looking for ANY film BEFORE 1983 where it appears just to see if I can nail down the actual FIRST TIME that gun appears in cinema. I think THAT is more interesting than knowing what movies it appeared in .. THIS YEAR.

Just a question, which hasn't been addressed yet. Thanks.
