Sort order for search replies

This is a general question about searching the Apple communities discussion groups.

When I ask a question (prior to making a posting), I get a series of similar earlier question that I can refer to. The problem is that these do not seem to be in any specific order, and the first on the list are often 6, 8, 10, years old. Old replies are rarely useful. Is there any way that I can encourage such searches to present topics withe the newest first?

This seems to apply to all groups.

Thanks,

Paul.

No problem!

FWIW. the search here is not the best I've ever come across; I usually try to simply use bookmarks (and loads of tabs); of course, that is not helpful in what you were trying to do, but it could be: if you happen to find anything relevant, bookmark it for the future.

There are filters on the left side (once results show up) where you can limit to “last day”, “last week”, etc. Sorry, but I can’t include a screenshot since I am not near my iMac right now.
