MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES order
 
   
  
 
 
I noticed that the order recommended by askbot for MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES has: 
 
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',

 
whereas django documentation and default settings has: 
 
 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',

 
If i change the order to match what Django recommends it takes the site down ... the ordering of middle ware always confuses me a bit, but I am wondering why the difference and if it has any side effects for other functioning?

I have been reading the Django documentation lately and I notice that sometimes they have the SessionsMiddleware before CommonMiddleware, despite their documentation that I linked to. Still not 100% sure about it all.
