In the stylesheet, no it's not always necessary, but HIGHLY recommended because of the "Cascading" part of CSS and for ease of readability.
If you just throw the styling in any order, it may work, or some styles may inadvertently override the original and intended ones.

Also, if you wanted to change something weeks or months down the line, it would be very inconvenient and time consuming if there was no 'order' to your stylesheet.

So, I guess the best answer is no... but YES. :)

I personally don't do a lot of commenting (not nearly as much as they do in the video).

Think of comments as a filing system in a file-cabinet.

All your 'nav' styles together with a title comment /NAV/ All your 'images' ... All you 'links' ... etc.

I know I need to start commenting more... small stylesheets really have no need, but large and complex one kind of do.

You just do what you feel is good for you, but always think "Will someone else understand this if they needed to work with it."
