I group all of my TODO items in one file under one first level heading, e.g.
* TODO'a
** TODO this is a test :CM:
DEADLINE: <2016-01-15 Fri>
:OTHERINFO:
:END:
Date Entered [2016-01-12 Tue 13:22]
** TODO this is another test :CM:
DEADLINE: <2016-01-20 Wed>
:OTHERINFO:
:END:
Date Entered [2016-01-12 Tue 13:36]
With point on the ** TODO this is another test and I change the state
for example to DONE (C-c C-t d) the state change is filed after the
first ** TODO and immediately above the "this is another test"
** TODO this is a test :CM:
DEADLINE: <2016-01-15 Fri>
:OTHERINFO:
:END:
Date Entered [2016-01-12 Tue 13:22]

I believe that that the state change should be (or it was in the past)
filed within the TODO item that was changed.
I tested this with a simple "* TODO something" headline and the state
change is entered above the * TODO.
