Feature request: List of new caches ordered by publish date and not by hidden date

[+capsai]

As the thread title says, the list of new caches behind this image/link

 

should be ordered by publish date and not by hidden date, because lot of cachers don't change the hidden date and when the listing is old, the new cache is not on top of the list.

Good idea, but I'm willing to guess the answer is no, for boring technical reasons. 

 

Created-date appears to be a database field, readily searchable. Publish-date likely isn't, requiring a search of logs to find the publish log.  More code, more risk, less performance. 

 

I'm willing to be wrong. There are lots of great ideas in the future pile.

The API allows searching by publish date range. I suspect there is in fact a field. 
 

https://api.Groundspeak.com/documentation#query-filters, publishedDate.

The better feature would be to set the hidden date to the same as publish date during the publish process
