Ordering by Votes seems good to me but i tend to read just the most voted questions and give points to them. Reading a given question, what is your preferred sorting order on answers list and why?

Newest first, almost always - for both questions and answers. That way I'm more likely to see new answers, instead of being drawn towards the ones which have already had more chance to get votes.

+1. I like newest and then sometimes view active every once in a while.– Josh KCommented Apr 14, 2010 at 12:37

@systempuntoout: I don't really fiddle with the default settings on SOFU simply because I find them good enough. I always go through all the answers, but the ones that have the highest number of votes are the ones that normally interest me the most. If I find something I consider useful, I'll upvote it no matter where it is in the list. Is this better?– alexCommented Apr 14, 2010 at 11:18
