I agree with both of you! How about grouping by experiment (interior
design micromanagement comment: grouped via a expt-level div with subtle
background colour?) and then by "decreasing" date in that group, with
the status = preliminary, unvalidated & obsolete analyses explicitly at
the end. And group the experiment groups by collider.

This would be similar to the groupings used for the analysis PDF & HTML
documentation, but with the date ordering reversed for viewing convenience.
