Why have the answers changed order?

Question

When you click on a question, you have to scroll up even further to see the question. Couldn't the question link go to the question and the last (or now the first) answer?

Answer 1

It seems that people sometimes post answers which aren't really answers, but are rather comments on the previous answer. By showing the answers in order (rather than reverse order), this makes the discussion more readable to other people.

Comments

In case I have read the old answers, I think a link to the last answer would be good if there are lots of answers. And what about linking to (or showing) the question itself?
