Notifications Order

One of the annoyances I have with Android is that notifications are not displayed in time order. I would like to see the latest notification first, rather than having to scroll througfh all notifications to figure out which one just came in. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that a new notification only shows up as a pop up for a few seconds with no apparentr way to make that time longer.

Does anyone have a way to change this?
