In Xml.template.php, there's a template_results function... It's apparently an Ajax return function for search results.
However, it's never used in Wedge. It's actually used for remote searches on the SMF official website (Admin.php in SMF2), but never here.
I'm going to remove it, but I'd like to know if there's any reason to keep it in...
Also, I'd like to merge QuoteFast.php (5KB) into Ajax.php, and possibly JsModify.php (12KB) as well. I don't see much of a reason to multiply files that are of such a small size... It's alright for big files like Search.php/Search2.php, but other than that, considering we gave up on the idea of automatic action file discovery...

I actually have the sidebar at the bottom because I don't have my browser at full size (it would look a bit silly in other sites to run at 1920 wide)
Same here. I have the sidebar enabled in Opera, with my list of tabs, because with 736 tabs (as of now...), it's definitely impossible to use the horizontal tab bar for switching between tabs.
Heck, I absolutely hate Google for removing their vertical tabs sidebar, because it was actually usable at the time... It was a bit buggy, but removing it also removed my interest in Chrome entirely. (Heck, now I do my Chrome testing under... Maxthon Webkit, because it's got a more usable tab UI.)
As far as ordering, there isn't a UI for it, just as there isn't a UI to determine whether a board is a blog or not.
Yeah, there's also plenty of other options that are missing some kind of UI... Eh. (Mostly mine
:P)
However, in the boards table there is the sort_method and sort_override columns, sort_method defaults to last_post (order by last post in a topic) with the direction being set as naturally descending.
(Modified after your post. Seems to work now.)
Sorting method can be based on subject (alphabetically), starter, last poster (both by user name IIRC alphabetically), number of replies, number of views, and first post and last post. Blogging, typically, would use first post rather than last post.
Before we forget -- when we add UI for choosing blog types, it should act as a 'template' like in the custom fields, i.e. it'll automatically set up other things in the page but users will be free to change them... I suppose that's how you envisioned it, too?
