The problem with that order was that the first person should be the 
primary author and in the 'From' tag.

A SOB chain is intended to depict the true propagation/route of a 
patch, from author, through maintainers who handle and forward it, to 
the maintainer who applies it to a Git tree. The patch starts up with 
a single SOB (the primary author's) and every 'hop' after that adds a 
SOB to the tail of the existing SOB chain.
