how is the 'users online' list ordered?

We're never happy when even one of our users is displeased.

No, it's not about "winning" it's about the fact that the software has so many different areas that it's impossible to make it so that it's perfect for everyone - so we allow you, the user, to customize it

So really when it comes down to it, you win

Plus - I think YOU are always first (by which I mean the user and not you personally :p )
Well, I SHOULD be always first..

NOt allways the case though, on a busy board, it is possible for someone else to have clicked one something between the time you clicked and the userlist being generated. I don't class that as a bug, but a sign of popularity

Now this is nasty, I've thought about my earlier comment and the fact is I've actually never heard any user complain about the order of the list before this topic. And it seems to me every other forum software does it the same way. Now considering that I think leaving it the way it is is the best. And offcourse as Jeff said, if you want you can change it yourself.

It's been like it for a long time, and still a lot of people (the majority) don't know about it...

I'd say those that dont know are in the vast vast minority

well, the code can be changed very easily
just the matter of changing 1 word in the ORDER BY statement in the query
