So sorry for bumping this, but the site seemingly has introduced another setting that seems to break the current settings and resorts to always sorting by relevance regardless of settings :

The default was Smart (Relevance when searching, Newest otherwise). I've changed mine to Newest first, but search does not keep this setting. Going to homepage and doing a search :

still results in results being sorted by relevance, and this despite changing the sort order of the results to Newest first and having activated the "Don't auto-switch to Relevance when I search".

It's very frustrating. Why does this site keep wanting to sort by relevance? Can the owners correct this?
That is a known bug, ever since the search bar was introduced in the home page, it always resorts to relevance sort regardless of your preferences. But in the proper search page your settings should work as expected.
