Comment:

 @peterwilsoncc afaik, currently it orders by descending date by default
 unconditionally.

 Can you elaborate on the reasoning behind this enhancement proposal, for
 documentation purposes and if someone looks back into the history of
 changes, understands how we got to this conclusion?

 It has not had any traction for one decade, so it seems this doesn't seem
 too demanded or maybe is not required any more. Personally, I cannot
 figure out your intentions here.
