That way, the answers will appear in the order they were posted in. (And, of course, you can change it back to "highest voted first" by clicking the "votes" tab, if you normally prefer it that way.) | |

If it is clear that my answer came second, I will delete my answer. But if both answer were posted "1 hour ago", I have no way of knowing. | |
