[Factorio.com] Add a way to sort the search results from the FFF

I have increasing issues when searching the FFF about recent stuff that has been posted, because I have hits from 10 years ago in between.
Exemple :
https://factorio.com/blog/search/robot
While it's interesting to remember how things started, I'd like to be able to sort by date, to see the most recent entries first.
A way to choose "sort by date/most relevant" would be useful.

I second Koub's suggestions; it would also be nice (particularly for more obscure terms) if the snippet of text in the search result contained the search term(s), if possible, and bolded them. For information density I like
this tool, although I don't think it has any of the FFFs since 282 (back when the website didn't have a search box and I was more active on the forum).

TL;DR
Searching FFF's is pure chaos
What ?
Searching the FFFs - for example:
https://factorio.com/blog/search/train is a bad mess. Why?
Suggestion: sort the search result by time created or title (new entries first)
This should be as easy as adding "ORDER BY .." to the sql query.
Why ?
You have got many great FFF about Factorio. However, it needs google to search the database, since the integrated search option is not very smart.
That's a shame and could be done way better, with a minor change to the php code.
