That does now work, I believe.

Well, the newest first is no problem, just use the first headline in
the file as remember target and configure the variable org-reverse- 
note-order
to make sure that the specified file it treated in this way.

Having said that, you can now use `top' or `bottom' as values for the
remember target heading, and the note will then be filed as a level 1  
entry
to the top or bottom of the file, respectively.

Yes, this is confusing, I agree.  When
`org-remember-store-without-prompt' is set (which is the default),
all the positioning interface stuff is completely by-passed.
Setting nil for file or headline really means: use the default,
taken from
`org-default-notes-file' and `org-remember-default-heading',
respectively.
