    To put an example here:
    • Open poll closing at 7/9 5pm
    • Open poll closing at 7/12 6pm
    • ...
    • Open poll closing at 7/15 1pm
    • Closed poll closed at 7/1 1pm
    • Closed poll closed at 7/2 7pm
    • ...
    • Closed poll closed at 7/7 at 1pm
    I'd much prefer to see the latest closed polls on the same page as the ones just about to close.

    This is because if I want to see the latest closed poll it'll be closer to the front as opposed to the last page.

    It acts as a To Do list for me where I can easily tell which story I need to add to next and which ones are pending.

    So more like this:
    • Open poll closing at 7/9 5pm
    • Open poll closing at 7/12 6pm
    • ...
    • Open poll closing at 7/15 1pm
    • Closed poll closed at 7/7 at 1pm
    • Closed poll closed at 7/6pm at 2pm
    • ...
    • Closed poll closed at 7/2 7pm
    • Closed poll closed at 7/1 1pm
    I'd much prefer to see the latest closed

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks for explaining the use case. I have implemented this now.

    Open polls should still show in the order of their upcoming close date, but closed polls are now sorted with the latest closed polls first, so they should be easier to use as a to-do list.
