@kristy_joy First guess: your assignment was written before the interface changed entirely and something about how they rewrote it utterly borked date results. I am also seeing this for a search which is, fascinatingly, putting 2019 and 2016 articles before 2020 or 2023 booksPermalink On twitter.com

@kristy_joy Second guess: they may be basing the newest on "when the record was loaded" which might vary widely depending on their loading/refresh practices around things like articles.Permalink On twitter.com

@kristy_joy Third guess: it's possible that all articles have incompatible date metadata and are therefore sorting at the top (is their date perhaps 9999 or ?), when I filter my results to books or DVDs or scores (aka the kind of stuff we catalog), I am seeing a much better date sort.On twitter.com

@kristy_joy (I've been trying to figure out what's changed about it in various ways, which is hard because we don't have the previous one to compare one-to-one so these are just my educated guesses)Permalink On twitter.com

@kristy_joy for an assignment. I'd experiment with things like format types, facets, etc., write up your experience, describe how you tried to make sense of the results, what other things you noticed in sort--just my two cents but this kind of "ahh why's it doing this?" is librarianship.Permalink On twitter.com
