SUMMARY
Notifications are presented to the user in chronological order, with the older ones first, which is counter-intuitive and against what both Plasma 5 and other platforms do (i.e. newer notifications first), as well as making it more difficult to understand what is going on at a glance.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Receive several notifications

OBSERVED RESULT
The older notifications are presented on top, with the newer ones following.

EXPECTED RESULT
The newer notifications are presented on top, with the older ones following.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 TraceyC 2025-03-17 17:53:36 UTC
I confirm the order of notifications is in chronological order on Solus git-master
I agree that the most important notifications to the user are the most recent ones

IMO we should either change the sort to be most recent first or
provide an option on which way to sort with reverse chronological being default
