Search results are not chronological

Hey Angela,
that's annoying that Atlassian hasn't done anything in that direction. But it would be great if you guys could add a sorting function to LInchpin. Thank you very much for the quick response. Have a nice day, Ute.

Hey Ute Jordan,
I'm assuming you are referring to the search function on the top right in the header, that opens a search sidebar (like in this screenshot for example).
This is actually 100% a Confluence functionality that hasn't been added or changed by Linchpin, but works like it does in any Confluence. Indeed, the order in which the results appear is not chronological, and to be quite frank, I'm not sure what exactly it is ordered by.
There have been requests for Atlassian to make a sorting possible, but those requests have been gathering dust for ten years now, so it'll probably never happen from Atlassian's side.
I talked to my dev team and we think it might be possible to add sorting features into the search, so let's see if other users agree and vote for this issue.
