the default is as you mention above, be in my application I require the sort to be by date db_utils.pl says
sub build_sorthit {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# This function sorts a list of links. It has been modified to sort
# new links first, then cool links, then the rest alphabetically. By modifying
# the sort function below, you can sort the links however you like (by date,
# or random, etc.).
#
so as I am not a programmer can any please inform me on how I can can the variables to achieve the desired effect, an help will be greatly appreciated
