To be honest, I don't think the BBC do have a 'pecking order'. Granted, they have a pool of presenters for each bulletin or channel to make it consistent, but they are by no means rigidly adhered to. I don't have any specific knowledge of why Darren Jordon was on the Ten O'clock News tonight, but I'd guess that it was a last minute decision, and he was available at the time. If they're left without a presenter at the last minute, I imagine the last thing they consider is the pecking order.
I think I'd be inclined to disagree with you. I mean, they'd hardly put Maxine Mahwhinney on the TEN would they?
Several years ago, you'd have been saying the same thing about Bill Turnbull presenting the Six O'clock News. After all, he was a News 24 presenter too before Breakfast.

Don't know whether it's worth reading too much into the pecking order at the BBC.
One would have thought Sophie would have stayed on to do it after the SIX. I mean it's what George normally does, and if we are to believe the rumours about her moving to the TEN, she could probably do with a test drive! hehe Or they could have asked Sissons or Buerk.
I wouldn't have thought Jordan would have been an obvious choice.
