- Please chronologically order list of company Acquisitions.
- The list was previously correctly ordered, most recent at the top and descending by date. But the last edit put the most recent items at the bottom of the list. This would give the appearance of hiding them among the very old acquisitions. Billytbone (talk) 20:38, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
