Howdy. Does anyone know what determines the order in which pictures are displayed for voting? Does the first image submitted become the first one listed when it's voting time, or what?

Part of the reason I ask is simply curiosity; the other part is that I wonder if there are any advantages to submitting early in a challenge.

Each voter gets a set of images which is randomly sorted so that there are not images that get more votes, say at the beginning, as opposed to ones that would be later on in the voting. In this case, each photo gets a fair chance at where it is during voting as it is not the same for two users.

It's random, different for everyone :)
