     * The existing user notes were always sorted by date of submission in descending order. This made the usefulness of older notes degrade slowly over time as more and more notes for the same page were added and notes of a lesser quality were not removed.     * The existing user notes were always sorted by date of submission in descending order. This made the usefulness of older notes degrade slowly over time as more and more notes for the same page were added and notes of a lesser quality were not removed.
-    * The new features allows the notes to be sorted by a rating system of +/- 1 based on number of votes and grouped by dates in a descending order. So a note with a +1 rating (based on say +2 up-votes and +1 down-votes), submitted year ago, would still show up on top of any notes that were submitted as recently as yesterday that haven't received an equal or larger positive ratingSimilarly negative ratings cause notes to drop to the very bottom of the page keeping cluttered notes readily sorted for each manual pageThe only exception here is that notes submitted for today's date are always set to trump other notes (this way the most recent notes always stand a fair chance of getting **some** decent exposure).+    * The new features allows the notes to be sorted by a rating system of +/- 1 based on number of votes and grouped by dates in a descending order. The rating is calculated by dividing the number of +1 (up votes) by the number of total votes (up votes plus down votes) -- calculated as percentage of 0 - 100%. 
 +    * Notes that have no votes at all are ranked above notes with 30% or lesser ratingsNotes with greater than 30% ratings are ranked above notes with no votes at all. 
 +    * There is a slight exception to the rule with notes that have fewer than 4 votes. This way notes can not drop suddenly to the bottom of the page without some fair chance (trying to account for error in small sample sizes). 
 +    * Another exception to the rule is notes submitted on today's date. They're always left at the top for that day to give them a fair chance of exposure as well and hopefully collect a good rating sample.
