SEARCH.php result : sort by latest by default

Hi,

Is it possible to sort by latest by default when we go to SEARCH.php

In search.php I tried to modify :

in the function showMatchProfiles($iBlockID) {

the line $sSort = isset($_REQUEST['sort']) ? $_REQUEST['sort'] : 'none';

by  $sSort = isset($_REQUEST['sort']) ? $_REQUEST['sort'] : 'date_reg';

but it didn't worked.

Is someone knows how to do it ?

Thanks

I found a simple solution :

In admin / Menu builder

I changed the URL of the search button

from : URL : search.php

to : URL : search.php?sort=date_reg

and it worked for me.

me too
