Of the 5 nobel prize pages, 3 start from the present day, 2 go forward
from 1901.
I found a page on filmographies etc which suggest that lists start from
the most recent item:

A comment on the talk page Wikipedia talk:Filmographies and
Discographies raises the fact that this order may have been influenced
by the IMDB's filmographies.
IMO lists of prize awards or works are in a sense timelines, and as such
should go forwards.
what are your opinions?
