Hi Arun,
I agree that sorting by date on a collection that has already been
sorted by relevance would yield unexpected results. But I'd like
to
offer a low-cost solution for sorting on the client:
Also, implementing sorting on the list is difficult to do,
especially
with the new relative dates that we have. And, I don't have much
time to
hack on it at the moment. However, I'm happy to accept patches
if you'd
be willing to write them. :-)
We can record the original numeric time stamp in a "data-"
attribute and
use JavaScript to sort by that data attribute on the client. (In
the
past I've used listjs[1] for this, which is likely overkill here.)
