Insecta taxonomy page

Somebody rearranged the orders of Insecta and made it into an alphabetical list. This list used to be in a more logical order, as shown in the poster that John V. presented at 2015 ESA meeting. It started with Microrhyphia, Zygentoma, etc. and ended with the holometabolous orders.

If I recall correctly, there was a note at the end requesting not to rearrange this list. I guess somebody missed this note.

Will somebody, please, turn it back to the way it used to be?

John VanDyk had a copy of the old format
and was able to put it back the way it was. The alpha version is on the info page for whoever disrupted this. Looks like were back in business again. Thanks JohnV

Yes, please
the alphabetical list is already on the Info page. We don't need the taxonomy page ordered that way also.
Editors, please don't make changes to long standing pages without first making a proposal in the forums and waiting at least two weeks for answers to your proposal.
