Re: Can Search Results Be Sorted by File Name?

Thank you so much.

I first tried sorting by title (with <input type="hidden" name="sort"
value="title">, as you suggested), but then realized that even though I have
the dates in the titles, I have them spelled out, and therefore the April
titles pop up first -- so that didn't help.

Next, I deleted and added the lines as you suggested (and switched $a and
$b, since it's even better if I can get them in reverse chronological
order), and it works perfectly.

Again, thanks for your help.
