Match viewed your profile

I was wondering if anybody knows how the whos viewed your profile works. When I sort by original order then click back to the first page it is always different. I called match and they don't even know. I guess I am curious because my ex is on there and when I click on original order he isn't on there until like the 8th page and then when I am on the say 3rd page and click sort by original order again, there he is on my first page. So what the heck, has anybody else figured this out yet.

I have had the impression that the "who's viewed" is in the order of the most recent viewing. So say that Tom, Dick, Harry, Bob, Fred and Rick all viewed me. They show up in that order, with Tom being the one who viewed me most recently. But then Fred comes back to take a second look and a new guy Joe shows up and then Bob looks at me again. The order will then be: Bob, Joe, Fred, Tom, Dick, Harry, Rick.

After that, Tom takes a second look and next Joe takes a second look. The order becomes:
Joe, Tom, Bob, Fred, Dick, Harry and Rick. (THis doesn't take into account that if one of them is looking at my profile while their profile is off, then they don't show up in the "who's viewed" list--so they don't affect the "who's viewed" though they do affect the count of "how many.")

That has been my impression, anyway, based on what seemed to be happening with e-mails and winks (guys often look at me again when they are sending an e-mail, for instance.) I have never figured out what they mean by "original order."

If someone else has another impression (or some factual information) I would like to know it too.

I think you are right, but what I don't get is that I will be on say page 3 and then click the sort button again on original order and it comes up different then it was. Strange and I even called match.com and they don't know.

It may be that "original order" refers to the order before the present order. Sort of like the "undo/redo" button in some word processors. But this is just a (wild) guess.

By the way, I want to second (or third) the advice that you turn your ex's profile into "do not show this profile again." IMHO The creep doesn't sound like he deserves the attention you are giving his profile.
