Hm, never give much thoughts about that order, its quite development
process driven here: I use git format-patch with --signoff. When I send
out v1, and get a Ack or Review, I add that to my commit. Hence, when I
send v2 of the patch, my sob line ends up below the Ack (that is what
happened in that case). If its the last revision, and the patch gets
picked up, the forwarder/maintainer will add the Ack and then it would
land after my sob...
