Operator Precedence Direction in Docs
#1
This seems silly, but I'm extremely new to Python and found it odd that https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expr...precedence was sorted in order of lowest to highest priority. I checked documentation for a few other languages and they sort from highest to lowest.

Caused me some confusion, but wasn't that big of a deal.

Was unsure where to send this message, it surely isn't a bug in the docs, more of a comment.

Thanks for listening.

Comments such as this are usually best directed to the Python Organization itself if you expect any response. If it's just a comment you'd like to voice and perhaps see how others feel, this is a great place.
If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.

As far as I remember, it's always been sorted from lowest to highest priority. For example in the python 1.5.2 documentation in 1999. It would be the end of something if they changed the order.

The priority table is to give you information. The order in the table is relative.
