At The risk of labouring this point I would like the communities' opinion on getting Super Search to display the newest nodes first by default.

I have read through Newest Super Search and seen a small refference to this issue and again looked at (tye)Re: Newest Super Search where the code for Super Search is posted. It seems to me that the results of a query are displayed in order of nodeID.

I may be WAY off the mark here but couldn't we add DESC after the ORDER BY n.node_id and make the code look like ORDER BY n.node_id DESC in this way presenting the nodes in newest order first..?

I try and search often using Super Search and often have to re-do searches to present more recent results.

Would we not find more recent and possibly more pertinent answers if we just reversed the search order..? (Not that there is anything wrong with older posts.. far from it)

Will not the newer nodes deal more with the later versions of Perl?
