TYPO3 Core

The documentation states, that with the config directive "noOrderBy" the search result can be selected from the database unordered. When boolean false, the result is ordered by 'pages.lastUpdated, pages.tstamp' ascending. When boolean true, no ordering is applied, i.e. the result is output by the time of which a record has been input in the database.

From my point of view, it would make more sense to order descending (newest pages first, instead of oldest pages first). Or even better, a config directive to specify, which fields should be sorted in which order, like the following example:

.OrderBy = pages.title ASC
.OrderBy = pages.uid DESC

and so on.

The code should be changed in \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\SearchResultContentObject around line 209.

Easy fix: Add Order Descending
Awesome fix: Add new config directive
