Why can’t you list SERPs by: date last modified, reverse rank order!!, URL order?!! Why doesn’t the search engine allow the user to sort the results using different criteria?!! This is search engine tyranny! I’ve been trying to find out how to list results in different ways! Can you help me?!!

Thank you
Steve Vera :~)

Suppose maximum people try to hide a result for a given keyword, then that means that result is not relevant to all the searchers that way Google may improve the results by downgrading that page. This is only my theory, because google will never tell you what they are really doing, if they tell that this will effect search results in general then everyone will jump and try to move their own pages to the top for better rankings. @Nirmal, Aseem, Madhur

I doubt it could though since any person could then manipulate the results and then what would be the point of the Google algorithm. I'm not sure if I would care about this feature that much though, when I perform a search, I'm usually counting on Google to give me the results in the best order, not me.
