Use case or problem
The query code block should also include the sort order from the manual find feature and show the values for the sort
Proposed solution
tag:#important
sort:modification-time
sort-order: new-first
Or a similar syntax with 1:1 correspondence to the manual find UI parameters.
When dealing with lots of files for editing, good to see the oldest or newest files that need attention.
Current workaround (optional)
Use manual sort and type in search info.
