Reorder Balance History from Newest to Oldest

   It would be a nice quality of life thing to re-order this data with the most recent first.  Scrolling down through 10 years of earnings is tedious.  You could even HIDE data more than a few months, and save the bandwidth (with a button to show if desired).

      You could Export as CSV and sort from newest to oldest that way.

         That is a workaround, yes. 
         
         I suspect, though I could be wrong, that most hubbers want to know about recent and upcoming payments, as opposed to information years ago, when they first started, earning pennies. 
         
         Wouldn't it make the most sense to present information in the way in which it is most useful?
         
         It's a small thing, but it's something that I notice *every time* I click this tab.

      That would make sense. When I file papers, most recent go  up front, and descend in date order.As it is now, I have to traverse 12 years of data to get to current info. PITA!

   Perhaps they think that if you want to view the data in another way, you will generate a CVS file.

      Imagine you went to the grocery store and all the prices were posted in cowrie shells. 
      
      You ask the store owner "Why don't you just put prices in the local currency?" (dollars, euros, yen, etc)
      
      and the store owner replies: "Just use the current exchange rate on google."
      
      It's not impossible; it isn't really even difficult. Its annoying and inconvenient.
      
      Is it that much to ask?  Those that want a CSV file - have at it.  Those that just want the most recent data - its organized and already there, at the top.
      
      Would it annoy you if it were ordered the other way?  I admitted in my first post that I could be wrong.  But if it doesn't bother you, what is your reasoning to argue against something that would make things more convenient to me?  Honest question!  Please explain your side/why it would be a problem.

   I just press the End button on my keyboard. A single keystroke takes me straight to the latest figures.
   
   However, it would make sense for the data to be displayed with the most recent first... especially when there are 13 years' worth on one page.
