Description

Author: ais523

Description:
Further to bug 10890, is it possible to efficiently return category members sorted by timestamp in descending order? Scripts and bots would find it more useful to be able to check the most recent addition/recategorisation to/in a category, rather than the least recent.

Severity: enhancement

Re-assigning to self as a reminder. I'll implement this later today.

Fixed in r25726. I added a cmdir parameter that can be set to asc (ascending) and desc (descending), for both timestamp and sortkey sorting.
