@GoldRingChip:, what do you mean by the "special was earlier"? OurCampaigns indicates it occurred on 6 Nov like all the regular Class III elections. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 23:57, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Oh! You're right! My brain saw the appointment date and thought it was the election date. Sorry. Having said that, however, maybe we should still have the special listed first, as its winner would be seated sooner? I don't know. What do you think? (Meanwhile, I'll make some more edits to it…) —GoldRingChip 00:02, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  No preference either way, my guess is that the prior standard of placing the regular first was by simple virtue of "R" lexically occurring before "S". CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 00:08, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
