Ah.  Sure you could argue that.  So look for a function called
"set_sort_order" and you will see this bit of code:

     my $direction = $sortby eq 'swishrank'
        ? $q->param('reverse') ? 'asc' : 'desc'
        : $q->param('reverse') ? 'desc' : 'asc';

So that's making an exception for swishrank.  So you just want to apply
that to the date, too, right?

Something like:

    my $direction = $sortby eq 'swishrank' || $sortby eq 'swishlastmodified'
        ? $q->param('reverse') ? 'asc' : 'desc'
        : $q->param('reverse') ? 'desc' : 'asc';

I didn't test, but that should get you close.

Hope that helps.
