Search results sorted poorly

Please check out this screenshot. The galleries found are not sorted in any order I can discern. Not by title. Not by time updated. Not by Description (which is the same across all galleries).

Serious guys -- would a run through sort() really have killed ya?

I honestly don't care which variable you choose - title or last updated. But something other than Random would be nice. Guh.

    *Bump* - Really? Nobody else wants their search results in some kind of order?

    Same problem for keyword queries. The order appears completely random and is not controllable. That lack of control eliminates a bunch of things I could use keywords for.

    The only problem I've had is the positions I set under arrange not sticking.
    Most times have to do it two or more times. But as long as "position" is set
    instead of "recent" I can sort by manual, date added or title and have no
    problems. Even descending or ascending works.

    Hi Al -- you do realize I'm talking about the automatic arrangement (sort order) of galleries in search results, right? Not on a category page.
