Same question from me. Looking for item with most votes to appear first, then second most votes...

Is this really working in version 9.8.2? It does not work on my site (and it did before).

Savant's s/asort/arsort/ suggestion does indeed work fine on 9.8.2

Works nicely for using the search box but when I use tags which uses the search script as well If I click on a tag, its still sorted with oldest first.

UPDATE:
ok around link 212 or there abouts in /libs/search.php I see you can change

$where = " AND ".$sq." GROUP BY " . table_links . ".link_id, `link_votes` ORDER BY `link_votes` DESC";

to

// $where = " AND ".$sq." GROUP BY " . table_links . ".link_id, `link_votes` ORDER BY `link_votes` DESC"; 
$where = " AND ".$sq." GROUP BY " . table_links . ".link_id, `link_date` ORDER BY `link_date` DESC";

To sort the search with newest first when someone clicks on a tag.

This is pretty crazy. How can something of such obvious need and such easy fix for the dev team, not have been included in any recent versions? It's just so obvious how it should be.

Actually, EVERY query should use the same algorithm as "Top Stories" and "Submitted Stories". That's what makes the best sense. I really want to do that for my queries that result from clicking on a tag. If anyone knows how to do that, I'd really appreciate it.

[slobizman]

Yup. Worth repeating.
