It's not clear from the documentation of `org-reverse-note-order' what "note" means:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Non-nil means store new notes at the beginning of a file or entry. When nil, new notes will be filed to the end of a file or entry. This can also be a list with cons cells of regular expressions that are matched against file names, and values. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- At first glance, it looks like it applies only to `org-add-note'. I had to look at the code to see that it applies to `org-refile' and (possibly) to org-capture as well, but not to `org-add-note' itself! I think this documentation can be improved. Can we append something like this at the end? --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- This affects the default placement of new notes at the destination when running `org-refile' and `org-capture'. See also the command `org-refile-reverse'. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Additionally, should this variable affect the order of notes stored via `org-add-note'?
