Changing display order in search engine

[menscerto]

Currently if a do a search using Vivvo's search engine the articles appear in creation order (descending). I want them to be sorted by article date. How can I do this? Any help would be much appreciated, even if it you can just point me to the php file that controls this.

Ok, here goes.
Go to your search_results/default.tpl template.
And right bellow this line:

<vte:box module="box_article_list" params = "{content_params}">

(should be around line 16)
add following:

<vte:params>
  <vte:param name="search_sort_by" value="created" />
</vte:params>

Basically, you can add more parameters if you need to sort your search results.
For example:

<vte:params>
  <vte:param name="search_sort_by" value="created" />
  <vte:param name="search_order" value="ascending" />
</vte:params>
