Why can't I sort my saved searches anymore?
With the old layout (and I'm not talking the green one) I was able to sort the results of my saved searches e.g. by newest, fewest answers etc.
With the change of the layout my saved searches did not show any results for a while. Now I get results (sometimes) but I cant sort them. So questions weeks old are mixed with newer ones, those with little or no answers with those which have many.
I don't like that as I have no interest in answering three week old questions with already have 145 answers but I want to help people quickly who ask questions in a field I have a little knowledge in.
This is not easily possible anymore so as a result I will sooner or later stop answering questions.

The staff know of this problem, now we just wait for them to fix it. You can still narrow by a time period by editing the Saved Search. To see the results in order, just do a regular search.
