Downloads listing order

Is there not a way to sort the downloads by last update, most downloads, last posted, etc?

You should be able to change it in your personal settings for the Downloads section: downloads.php?view=user_config

Ok, so you set and then it sticks for next time. I see.
There was no "back to results", I thought it was a filter page.

Unfortunately not. The add-on we're using is a bit limited, but it was the best one available.
