You know how you can do YouTube one better? Offer to remember Sort. I tend to use several search terms every day. Having to manually sort each one is a real PITA. If I'm searching for "Nook HD+" and sort This Month/Upload Date, I'd like a checkbox that would keep that sort automagically for the next search terms I enter. That YouTube doesn't offer that -- and saved searches -- is a huge FAIL on their part.
I've thought about this but my concern is that it might harm more than it hurts. For example, I search for music albums sometimes and filter by "long (20+ minutes)" for that, but the other 90% of the time when searching I don't want it to keep that filter, so it would be more of a pain. Thoughts on that?
Sorry. User error. I was hitting the wrong damn button for "Upload Date" -- do you see that's there twice in the left column? I was not hitting the one right below "Relevance." DUH.
EDIT to add: The confusion is because the second "Upload Date" even though a header, actually turns bold like a button when clicked on!
