Editing Help:Searching (section)

==== Sorting ====
By default, results are ordered by [[Relevance (information retrieval)|relevance]]. The "Sorting order" control in the "Advanced search" section allows you to select two other sort orders: most recently edited, and most recently created.

An advanced technique is to manually modify the URL to achieve other sort orders. For example, adding <code>&sort=incoming_links_desc</code> to the end of the URL will sort pages with the most incoming links to the top, and <code>&sort=random</code> will randomly order results. For a full list of available sort orders, see [[mw:Help:CirrusSearch#Explicit sort orders]].
