Description ais523 2007-09-10 12:55:42 UTC Further to bug 10890, is it possible to efficiently return category members sorted by timestamp in descending order? Scripts and bots would find it more useful to be able to check the most recent addition/recategorisation to/in a category, rather than the least recent. Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2007-09-10 13:33:28 UTC Re-assigning to self as a reminder. I'll implement this later today. Comment 2 Roan Kattouw 2007-09-10 14:19:08 UTC Fixed in r25726. I added a cmdir parameter that can be set to asc (ascending) and desc (descending), for both timestamp and sortkey sorting.
