Reverse chronology a bad choice - objections to change?

[edit]

It is disjointing to read sections backwards. When I wish to gain insight into a person I am wanting to lay down a chronology for my use - which is by nature a forward one. As I do this, I am naturally scanning for details from section to section. By having a reverse chronology, the flow is broken from the forward flow within sections.

This article covers all basic journalistic structures, and except for teasers, no use of reverse chronology is mentioned.

However, I do not want to change this myself, before asking for objections.

+1 on having this in forward chronology, which confused me when I landed here.
