This might seem an odd question but ...
Does the order of names displayed when you click on 'See Who's Logged On' mean anything? For example, is the one at the top of the list (usually me) the one who has logged on most recently, and the one at the bottom the one who has been logged on the longest?

I don't know about you, but I think the person who does the who's on, always comes on top.
I think most likely then it is by order of logging in. We could do a little investigation Blaise?

It's actually ordered by the last page request, from most-recent to least-recent.
Theoretically, it should always be the case that the person looking appears at the top, because the list is being generated at almost exactly the same moment that the page view is initiated. Actually, however, the server takes some measurable amount of time to generate a response to each pageview, so occasionally, you see a list where you are not the first person. What that means is that somebody else's page request arrived at the server within a few microseconds after your request.
