Related upstream report: Sort Queries in Ascending/Descending Order
Currently, we have a Date Updated and Date Created option when doing an advanced search. This sorts search results in "newest first" order. It'd be nice to have an additional option for sorting which would show search results by oldest first as well. Bugzilla also had this feature.

I find myself starting the scanning of tasks from the bottom of query sections, so yes, I can see the point of this request. Then again, if you think about how to enable this in the UI, you will probably find that the changes are not trivial. More options in the dropdown menu? A widget to invert the sorting in the list of results?
I can imagine upstream accepting this request as Wishlist, waiting for someone to submit a patch. Meanwhile, I'm fine doing the sorting myself, since usually the sample of results for my case don't go beyond a few dozens.
