    No is first alphabetically, but you'd be surprised at how many questionnaires and ballot papers put yes first, simply to influence people into giving it priority.

    YES tends to induce some sort of action, and NO tends to shut it down.

    The answer is NO and that's important.  Watch Yes Man, the movie, to learn more.
