In admindb.py, there is the comment
  # Alphabetical order by email address

This is how the information is shown on the admindb page. So I'm not
talking about the order of the columns but the order of the rows.

It looks like the issue is that the key is the email address (see the sort
statement a bit lower). You would need to keep track of an approximate
submission time and sort by that. Don't worry about that right now, but
put it on your list of things to do after GSOC is over.
