Quick hack to be able to list old entries first :

this patch adds a new type of sort "old".

Hmm, take another look at your patch above. Comapre the added lines with the "age" lines just above them. It's identical; age already does what you want. --[[Joey]]

Well, $b and $a are switched in 'old' comparing to 'age'... According to the documentation, The default, "age" is to sort newest pages first. I just want the reverse, and that's why I just switched the $a and $b args of the sort func.... --HB

However, I wonder if it would be better to add another option for inline like "sortorder" with "desc" or "asc" keywords ?

That might be cleaner, since it would allow sorting pages in reverse by title. If someone ever had a reason to do that. --[[Joey]]
