When working with double-sided documents, the standard format in scientific papers, the order of precise notes in the corresponding org-file don't follow the text flow, but the horizontal position of the site.

Example:
I insert two precise notes, one in the middle of the left column of my double-sided pdf, one in the beginning of the right column.
Theoretically, the note of the first column should be inserted above the note of the second column in the corresponding org file.
Practically, it's exactly the opposite way around. I guess the reason is, because it just considers the horizontal position, where the note on the right column indeed comes before the one on the left.

When reviewing the notes in the org-file, things can become confusing, since the order of notes, and thus the reasoning in the paper, becomes intermingled, especially with larger documents and larger amounts of notes per site.

Any ideas on how to adjust the desired behavior of precise notes in the org-file to follow the order of the text flow?

Many thanks, love the package!

I don't work with this type of document often, but I've noticed that the placement issue as well.
