I did and forgot about it and found myself migrating back to SAGE before I switched it to ‘sort by newest’.

I’ve thought of similar sorting features myself, or for the love of god allow us to write plugins. I really need to be able to do something with the same damn stories being broadcast hourly from some sites. I have one particular site that RSSed me the same story 30 times today, once for each time someone commented on the article it looks like. There has to be a way of setting priorities for poorly managed sites like that so I am not bombarded with crap.

However, I like to read items in a “river of news” fashion, and not feed wise, so its really important for me to have a smarter way of looking at items across various feeds. This becomes specially crucial if you have a huge number of feeds :-)

Then you don’t have all the old posts there unless you want them.

For myself, I don’t bother sorting (as I don’t use the view all), I just use the show-unread-only, and then select each feed as I want to.
