I don't recall every click but, I started from the home screen entering my search parameter equivalent to "cant change password" in the search all categories and then clicked dev8. After searching a few entries, my folders, and a couple links I realized
one of the patch downloads that I was looking at was from the beginning of the year. I returned back to the general screen in the shot to see what date range I was searching. As you can see some of them don't have dates and the screen I was on had no dates.
After opening a couple threads to see the dates I couldn't determine what order they were in nor did I see a way to filter the results from that page other than by subject.
This was the first time I've noticed them come up in a random order and after reading your reply I did a search which sure enough they were in order. I also noticed the drop down box (duh) With the four check boxes there I just hadn't looked for it before.
The main issue was trying to find the filters from the results screen in the screen shot.
