. I was looking for a way to reverse the sort order,and the reverse=true parameter, as used in eg. the blog-posts macro, appears to work. Is this intended/reliable behavior? If so, you may want to add it to the documentation. edit to add : on closer inspection, the reverse=true doesn't seem to affect anything, it's just that the default sort order of the sortBy=date parameter apear to be reverse, ie. newest first. whatever the intended behavior is meant to be, it probably should be documented. Also, the reverse paramater would be a handy thing to have, doesn't seem to be too difficult given it's presence in other macros.
