Oh, we at Ruwiki are of the same opinion. I talked about it in

As a member/admin of pl.wiki I support moving this column as first after name of article. This is button that is used most common on this page, so it should be accesible faster.

I was thinking of putting it on the far left. Any objections to that?

sounds good:

1. review-symbol
2. page
3. size
4. since
5. watching

(actually the text of the review-links could be the size (instead of the constant "review"), such that the separate 'size' row would be superfluous and could be omitted, however this is a topic for another ticket and should be discussed with the power users in advance.)

I actually object, second column looks much better to me.

As a plwiki admin and patroller I think that this change will be beneficial and helpful for people

form follows function. a table should be functional at first. good looking is secondary.

normally reviewers decide very fast whether they want to review a page. in many cases the first syllables of a title are enough decide. (and in german and english one reads from left to right.)
the review button should be very near to the (begin of) the corresponding page title.
but page titles have different lengths.
if the review button column is the first one, then the distance is minimal.
if the review button column is the second one, then the distance varies and is large for short page titles (if there is at least one long page title anywhere in the table).

so i think it would be better to have that button in the very first column.
