whats with the search sorting?

[Flyboy]

when you do a search in the forums you get the results randomly, any attempt to orginize them by date was a failure.
quite irritating i must say, any way to work this out?

Use advanced search, select "Most recent topics first' in 'Search order' dropdown list.

Have you ever tried it? It doesn't work

Also check box "Show results as messages" then it works

But it should work without that additional option, which makes browsing through the results cumbersome. So yes, there's still something to fix

It works correctly. The dates displayed without "Show results as messages" are dates of topic's first post, while search result is sorted by post dates.

You are right, I was wrong.
