Apologies for the necro....

On the Santa (overview) page, I rearranged the prior years in reverse chronological order. In other words, the most recent year now is at the top of the list, and the oldest year is at the bottom. We should use this as a model for other seasonal contractor overview pages.

As we discussed in January, when users click on, for example, "Santa", there's a 99.99% chance they want the most recent year. Using the same logic, users who want historical data about a seasonal contractor are more likely to want information about more recent years. Therefore, the easiest way for them to find what they want is for what they want to be at, or near, the top of the list. If we assume that TrainStation will continue indefinitely (and we should), placing 2011 at the top of the list means that in ten years or so, users would need to scroll down the page to find the stuff we already knew they wanted. This way, the problem is solved before it becomes a problem. ;-)
