Please put your S-o-b line last.


If S-o-b's should be chronological, then this order is correct.
Guenter added his reviewed-by after I have added my signed-off-by.


That refers to S-o-B, not to Reviewed-by: trailers.

Do we really have to argue about something like this ?

I am not arguing, looking for answers.

Do I have to mandate the order of non-SoB trailers for this subsystem ?


That actually may be a decent idea. In you have this stated strictly
for subsystem or have a consensus on kernel level then you can just
point a link to a documentation. Might simplify your maintainer work
;)


Up to now there used to be a common consensus, and it didn't seem necessary
to specifically mandate anything but the Signed-off-by: order. Unfortunately,
we live in a time where everyone deems it necessary to question everything.
That doesn't just include the order of trailers. I even get buggy patches
where the authors argue that "but this other driver has the same bug, so it
should be ok to introduce it here as well".

No, I am not going to explicitly mandate the order of trailers. If I'd do
that, people would just find something else to argue about. I'll keep doing
what I have always been doing: The more pointless arguments, the lower my
review priority.
