Subject: 26.3; Doc of `load-history' should say what the alist order is.
Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2022 17:00:09 +0000

The doc of `load-history' describes the alist entries in detail.  But it
should also say that the list entries are in reverse chronological order
of loading, i.e., earliest loaded libraries at the end, most recently
loaded entries at the beginning.

This may be obvious if you assume the simplest construction of the
alist.  It's nevertheless important information to mention in the doc.
