Now with advanced search capability, you can determine the sort order.

Comment 3

[AndrewM]

Would it be possible in the future to implement the sort buttons in search results the way they are in category browsing? Because if you want to resort search results at the moment, you have to:

1. Toggle the advanced search mode on.
2. Select how you want to sort the results in the drop-down.
3. Click the search arrow and wait for the results.

Whereas to resort the results when you are browsing a category, there is only one step:

1. Click the button for the way you want to sort the results and wait for the page to reload.

Also, it's quite easy to miss the Advanced search mode toggle link.
